Kiviks Market Reopens After Tragic Accident

Published: 2024-07-07

Following the tragic accident on Friday afternoon at Kiviks market where a strong wind toppled a stall, causing one death and injuring three others, the market and its amusement section have reopened.

Although police investigations continue, market chief Tony Andreasson defended the decision to reopen, citing it was for the benefit of the traders.

However, some vendors, like Ebba Nordin, have criticized this move, expressing that the market should have remained closed out of respect for the deceased.

The community has support services available, and police have initiated an investigation into potential negligence.
