A bus crashed into a bus stop in central Stockholm during the afternoon rush hour on Friday, resulting in several fatalities and injuries, according to BBC and Channel News Asia. Police confirmed that the bus, operated by Transdev, struck a queue of commuters, and many were affected.

Authorities indicated that there were at least six casualties, although they refrained from providing specific details about the number of deceased or injured individuals, as reported by Al Jazeera and Reuters. The bus driver has been arrested as part of the investigation into involuntary manslaughter.

Witnesses described chaotic scenes, with medical personnel working to extract individuals trapped beneath the bus. A witness named Michelle MacKey, who is a nurse, expressed disbelief, stating, "I thought it was an exercise at first. That maybe they were dolls. It was so unreal. Chaos," according to South China Morning Post and Le Monde.
