Passenger Boat Crashes Into Stockholm Quay

Published: 2024-05-16

A passenger boat collided with Nybrokajen in central Stockholm on Thursday evening, with 35 people on board.

No one was seriously injured, but two passengers experienced back pain and were treated on-site, while three were taken to the hospital.

The collision occurred because the boat could not reverse in time, causing it to hit the quay too hard.

Police have launched an investigation for negligence in maritime traffic.

Witnesses reported seeing two people being taken away on stretchers, and seven ambulances were present at the scene.
