The possibly careless driving in connection with an accident is the basis for the criminal suspicion, says Andreas Gidlund, head of the preliminary investigation.

- There is a criminal suspicion of negligence in traffic, we are interviewing witnesses and have heard the passenger but not yet the suspect, says Andreas Gidlund.

SVT has previously reported on several accidents with off-road vehicles in Västerbotten.

- In the end, we have unfortunately had some quad bike accidents here, says Andreas Gidlund.
