The computer box is unreadable - setback for the prosecutor after the fatal accident on Öland

It was on Wednesday afternoon, July 22, that four cyclists were hit in Färjestaden, a boy under the age of 15 and a woman in the age of 45 died.

Shortly before, the driver was also close to driving on several other people.

An important piece of the puzzle in the investigation was the accident car's data box, which could have provided technical information about the accident, but that information will not be accessible.

- It is the airbag box that we have looked at and found that it is too old to be emptied of sensible information, says prosecutor Kjell Jannesson to SVT Nyheter Småland.

Analog calculation instead

Now, instead, companies that the police usually hire must make an analogous calculation of how fast the suspected driver was driving.

- It will be done through various calculations based on damage to the car, tracks at the accident site and distance measurements, says Kjell Jannesson.

The man is still suspected of causing another person's death.

The accident occurred on a so-called 30-mile stretch and finding out how fast the suspected driver was driving is an important piece of the puzzle in the investigation, says prosecutor Kjell Jannesson.
