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.

Mjällby AIF stands on the brink of securing the Swedish Allsvenskan championship, with their fate potentially decided during Sunday's heated Stockholm derby between Hammarby and AIK. The southern Swedish club could clinch the title without even playing if Hammarby drops points against their city rivals. This unprecedented scenario has created intense anticipation across Swedish football as the season reaches its dramatic conclusion.
In Bromölla, Mjällby's supporter club Sillastrybarna gathered at a restaurant to watch the Stockholm derby together, reflecting the nervous excitement surrounding the potential championship. "The feeling is that anything could happen today, but we're satisfied either way," said Kristofer Rasmusson, vice chairman of Sillastrybarna. The supporters acknowledged that while winning the title during another team's match would be unusual, it would still represent a remarkable achievement for the club.
Should Hammarby secure victory against AIK on Sunday, Mjällby's championship aspirations would extend to Monday's away match against IFK Göteborg. In that scenario, Mjällby would need to defeat the Gothenburg side to claim the SM-gold. Maximilian Damm, who is live-reporting on Mjällby's title chase, expressed confidence in the team's abilities, stating, "As soon as they get to play a match. That is, on Monday against IFK Göteborg away. It's hard not to be impressed by how MAIF approaches matches, and there's no reason not to believe they won't win on Monday."
The Monday encounter against IFK Göteborg presents its own challenges, with historical data showing low-scoring affairs between the two clubs. The last five meetings have produced just one goal per match, with Mjällby holding three victories to IFK's two. Despite this history, both teams have significant motivation - Mjällby for the championship and IFK Göteborg for European qualification spots and honor. The match kicks off Monday at 19:10, potentially crowning a new Swedish champion.
