Swedish police believe the driver of the car in which Warrington indie band Viola Beach plunged to their deaths last month “probably acted intentionally”, after studying video footage of the moments before the crash.
The band’s four members and their manager were killed early in the morning on February 13 when their car plummeted 80ft into a canal near Stockholm, after smashing through a gap in a motorway bridge which had opened to let through a passing vessel.
New video footage of the run-up to the crash, viewed and reconstructed by Sweden’s Aftonbladet newspaper, shows the car coming to a near halt behind a lane of cars waiting for the bridge barriers to open, then swerving out onto a narrow hard shoulder, crashing through the barriers and accelerating towards the bridge.
