A man in his 50s fell into the water during maintenance work on Bergsviksbron in Piteå. The man who was supposed to repair a broken bridge railing has not yet been found.
The search for a missing person differs when searching for water compared to on land. "Water is the hardest thing we can search in," says Martin Persson, operations manager for Missing People in Norrbotten and Västerbotten. "There has been a timber trail here so there is a lot of timber in the water," he says.
