Plow truck crashed into police car

today at 04.22 Johan Edgar

A plow truck drove straight into a police car in central Bålsta outside Uppsala at 02:00 last night.

The driver is suspected of having been drunk behind the wheel.

– He has removed the entire front of the police car, says Viktor Åkring Dicksved, commander of the police in Region Mitt.

The police car was parked next to a shopping center when it was hit.

The collision was powerful.

– He has had a lower speed, but it has been enough, says Åkring Dicksved.

A preliminary breath test showed signs that the exhaled air contained alcohol, so the driver was accompanied to the police station for further control.

The police car could be driven there, where it was taken out of service. The police patrol escaped unharmed and was able to continue its shift. (TT-Aftonbladet)

    The measure should give residents better health and reduce the transmission of diseases to tourists. In addition, the use of chemical pesticides can decrease, the responsible authority states.

    The project has been going on for six years and included laboratory breeding of mosquitoes and sterilization by radiation. (TT)

    During Thursday’s snow chaos in Gothenburg, the Hisingsbron got stuck in the folded position.

    According to the police, there was “chaos” at the site when people were to climb between the bridge flaps – a gap of around 1.5 metres.

    About a hundred people chose to climb over the bridge, the police said Echo.

    And they may have committed crimes.

    – You could probably find applicable criminal classifications. Among other things, you may not enter track areas. But it depends a little on how the signage looks, says police spokesperson Hans-Jörgen Ostler to Ekot.

    A new campaign is to reduce the use of the fully legal intoxicant nitrous oxide, writes TT and refers to a press release from the government.

    Now the Medical Products Agency, the Public Health Agency and the county administrations are tasked with informing about the risks of the gas.

    It will also be investigated whether an age limit on nitrous oxide should be introduced.

    The use of nitrous oxide has increased, mainly among young people. According to the government, there has been a significant increase in calls to the Poisons Information Center about nitrous oxide, both from private individuals and from healthcare.

    US authorities have closed the troubled Silicon Valley Bank and taken control of its assets.

    The announcement comes after the troubled bank was yesterday forced to sell a large part of its securities holdings at a loss.

    Something that created enormous anxiety and caused the world’s stock markets to crash. Several major banks are among the biggest losers both in Sweden and Europe.

    – It is a clear indication that the tough times are really here, said economist Frida Bratt to Aftonbladet earlier today.

    Silicon Valley Bank primarily targets technology and growth companies.

  • Murder became murder

    The prosecutor has mitigated the suspicions against a 22-year-old man who is in custody after what was considered to be a double murder in Ulricehamn in Western Gotland.

    It was in September last year that several men allegedly entered the 22-year-old’s apartment via the balcony. He is said to have killed two of them with a knife, which he has admitted.

    The man is now instead suspected of two counts of murder.

    That’s what TT writes.

    – After getting the entire investigation in place, I believe that it is to be judged as murder, a less serious crime than murder, says Chamber Prosecutor Martin Svensson to P4 Sjuhärad.

    The alarm came in at 4.30pm on Friday.

    A large area has been cordoned off and police special forces are on their way to the scene.
