Deadly Bus Crash Investigation Hindered by Privacy Laws

Published: 2024-02-24

In a tragic incident on county road 272 near Harbo, a collision between a UL bus and a personal vehicle resulted in the deaths of both drivers, with several passengers injured and taken to the hospital.

The aftermath has left the bus company Keolis, which operates UL's buses, in a somber mood.

Keolis spokesperson Karin Nilsson Malmén expressed deep sympathy for the families affected and assured support for employees in need.

Initially, there was hope that onboard surveillance cameras could shed light on the accident's cause, but it was revealed that the cameras were not activated due to GDPR concerns.

This setback in the investigation highlights the complex balance between privacy and safety measures.
