A man in his 60s has died after his car was involved in a collision with a bus on county road 765 near Varberg, Dagens Nyheter reports. The man was driving the car, according to police statements published on the authority's website.
The bus driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries, police said.
The crash is initially being investigated as gross negligence in traffic, causing another person's death and causing bodily harm. Police stated that no one is suspected of any offence at this stage.
The accident happened on a stretch of county road 765 outside Varberg, a coastal town in Halland on Sweden's west coast. Police have not released further details about the circumstances of the collision or the identities of those involved.
Under Swedish law, the preliminary classifications listed by police describe how an incident is being examined rather than a finding of guilt, and they can change as an investigation develops. The absence of a suspect at this early stage means no individual has been formally linked to the incident.
It was not immediately clear how long the road would remain closed or whether traffic was being diverted around the scene.
What to watch next: whether police update the investigation's classification or name a suspect as their inquiry into the collision continues.
