Well, if we're going to guess at scenarios....
They were finally starting to make it, and decided to have 'the chat' with their manager about how he wasn't the manager for them any more, and he took it badly. |

Police now saying the theory is that the driver was inattentive, rather than it being deliberate

The Swedish police sound like clowns, contradicting what they themselves have said, as well as eye witness testimonys.

A reconstruction video on how it happened. It still makes no sense when you watch that video , the driver had warnings yet kept driving on. |

Thanks for posting this. It will be interesting to see if the Swedish police come to any conclusions after completing their analyses.

Yes as the driver was clearly not asleep as he very carefully went around traffic to continue on when everybody else had stopped. Then ignored the fact he had gone though a barrier.
As horrific and hard it may be to believe im struggling to see any other explanation other then this was deliberate by the driver. |

So the driver was not asleep, no drink or drugs in his system and yet he purposely moved into a side lane, sped past the other cars and then crashed through the first barrier. At this point he didnt stop. He was driving a brand new rental car yet was not concerned about damage to stop. Why ? Eye witnesses saw no brake lights. He then drove further and smashed through a second barrier before finally smashing into the opening bridge and falling into the river.
As horrific and hard it may be to believe im struggling to see any other explanation other then this was deliberate by the driver.

"The driver" this, "the driver" that. Who was driving? Don't they know or are they keeping it secret for a reason?

Of course, we can't know for sure at the moment. |

I was under the impression it was the manager. The band members were having a few drinks that evening, according to people who had seen them, and it was mentioned that the manager was abstaining from alcohol etc.
Of course, we can't know for sure at the moment. |

He may well have been the driver.
Explain that logic please ![]() ETA " to autopsy results, the "unidentified driver" was neither under the influence of drugs or alcohol, nor asleep at the wheel of the car' |

I guess they were just trying to jump the bridge and not wait. |

What's not particularly clear, as there seems to be conflicting language used, but did he pull up behind the line of traffic, then move into the hard shoulder and scream along the outside, or did he come up quickly behind the line of traffic and then change lanes at the last minute to avoid them.
The second scenario could imply mechanical or system failure. The first, not so much... |
