An entire family was hit by a motorist outside a camp in Joels Udde on Öland in July. The 45-year-old mother and a son died. The father and the other son escaped the collision with minor injuries.
According to testimonies of the tragic accident, the motorist maintained a speed well above the allowed limit of 30 kilometers per hour. The 55-year-old driver was inches away from driving with another family with children just before the incident.
He is suspected of gross negligence in traffic, seriously causing the death of another person in two cases, causing serious bodily injury and causing danger to another in five cases.
He himself has stated that he does not remember anything about the accident.
The prosecutor has requested a technical investigation of the car to find out how fast it was driven. However, due to the fact that this is an unusual car model, there have been some difficulties.
I had to calculate the speed analogously
The car’s airbag box is too old to provide information, and therefore a company that is usually hired by the police has had to make an analogous calculation of how fast the 55-year-old suspect was driving, according to SVT. .
The report is now complete and the Prosecutor’s Office confirms that it supports the investigation, which concluded that the vehicle was traveling at more than 30 kilometers per hour.
– So they have made a calculation based on the damage to the vehicle, the tracks on the site, similar things and have come up to a speed that the vehicle should have maintained in relation to the fatal accident, Kjell Jannesson tells P4 Kalmar.
The prosecutor does not want to indicate exactly how fast the car was driven before questioning the suspect, but tells the radio that the information is important to the investigation.
– Give a better explanation of why this collision has caused the death of two people, says Kjell Jannesson to P4 Kalmar
