It was just before 1 pm on Sunday that the alarm about the accident came.

According to witnesses to the police, it must have been two people who rode the scooter when it drove into the tree.

- The deceased is not a resident of the county.

The passenger has no serious injuries, says Dan Grabö, duty officer at the police.

The police have now initiated a preliminary investigation into suspected negligence in traffic.

- It is a standard procedure for this type of event.

We will carry out a technical inspection of the scooter to rule out that it is not a technical fault, says Grabö.
