A diplomat vehicle found itself stranded on the tracks of Stockholm's Tvärbanan, leading to a suspension of the tram service between Alvik and Sickla.

The incident, which occurred overnight, left the vehicle abandoned and prompted police to initiate an investigation into traffic negligence.

The removal of the minibus, which had no clear path onto the tracks, presents a significant challenge, with Stockholm Public Transport (SL) deploying replacement buses in the interim.

The expectation is to clear the tracks by early morning, but delays may extend if damage to the infrastructure is discovered.

The circumstances leading to this unusual situation remain unclear, with authorities working to understand how the diplomatic vehicle ended up on the tram tracks.
