Two young women were killed in a severe multi-vehicle collision on Route 83 in Bollnäs municipality, Hälsingland, on Saturday evening. The accident occurred around 10:30 PM when two vehicles collided head-on at high speed, followed by a third vehicle crashing into the wreckage seconds later. One of the vehicles caught fire following the impact, complicating rescue efforts at the scene.

Police confirmed that two women, aged 20 and 25, died from their injuries overnight. Their next of kin have been notified. According to Region Gävleborg's patient injury report, six additional people were injured in the crash, including two men with serious injuries and three men with minor injuries. All individuals involved were between 20 and 40 years old and were residents of Hälsingland.

Authorities have launched a comprehensive investigation into the fatal accident. Police have seized the vehicles for technical examination and are interviewing witnesses. The accident scene was documented using drones to analyze skid marks and other evidence. Police press spokesperson Magnus Jansson Klarin told TT news agency that the exact cause of the collision remains unclear, though local reports indicated heavy fog at the location at the time of the incident.

The highway section was closed for several hours during rescue operations. Bollnäs municipality has activated its crisis support services, and the local parish hall remains open for relatives and others needing support following the tragedy. The community response reflects the local impact of an accident that has left multiple families grieving and several individuals hospitalized with varying degrees of injuries.

A Swedish court has convicted six individuals for their involvement in the murder of a 41-year-old gang leader in the Berga district of Linköping during the summer of 2024. The Linköping District Court delivered verdicts in the case, which involved eight defendants originally charged with participation in the killing. The court established that the murder was carried out according to a criminal plan orchestrated by members of an organized crime network based in the Berga area.

The victim was fatally shot in a public space near Berga Church in Linköping on August 13, 2024. Multiple gunshots struck the man in his back and head during the daylight incident, which occurred near residential buildings and a playground. Several members of the public witnessed the shooting, adding to the evidence presented during the trial.

Court proceedings revealed that a 14-year-old boy fired the fatal shots that killed the gang leader. The teenager, who has admitted to the killing, was not prosecuted due to being below the age of criminal responsibility under Swedish law. Instead, prosecutors focused on the eight older individuals allegedly involved in planning and facilitating the murder, all of whom had denied the charges against them.

Evidence presented by prosecutors included extensive documentation of movement patterns through surveillance footage, GPS data from electric scooters, and mobile phone analysis. The court determined the victim had been lured to the crime scene under the pretense of a drug transaction, with communication occurring through a special Snapchat account and a dedicated mobile phone later found buried in nearby woods. Six of the eight defendants were found guilty, with two receiving life sentences for murder while others were convicted of aiding the killing.
