Last Wednesday, a traffic accident occurred in Piteå, Sweden, resulting in the death of a man who was hospitalized after the incident. Reports indicate that he succumbed to his injuries several days later. An autopsy is planned to determine the exact cause of death, as police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash, including witness statements.

In the incident, a timber truck overturned, resulting in the cab landing upside down, which necessitated the extraction of the driver from the vehicle. A second man in his 40s suffered serious injuries during the accident. Authorities, including police spokesperson Aron Backman, have communicated with the truck driver but noted that clarity regarding the sequence of events remains limited. Backman emphasizes the traumatic impact of the accident on the driver, who has been cooperating with the investigation.

Police are actively seeking witnesses to the crash to gather more information about how the accident unfolded. As the investigation progresses, the focus will be on understanding the accident's details and how similar incidents can be prevented in the future, particularly in relation to road safety and the operation of heavy vehicles in the area.
