In Malmö, a 21-year-old man was sentenced for causing another's death and traffic negligence after a fatal bicycle accident, according to P4 Malmöhus. In May last year, the man cycled into a woman at a crosswalk on Möllevången, multiple reports said. Separately, a cyclist was hit by a truck on Lockarps kyrkoväg on Wednesday afternoon, according to multiple reports. The cyclist, a man in his 70s, was taken to hospital but died, police said.
