A motorcyclist died in a traffic accident after colliding with a car on Fleningevägen outside Helsingborg on Wednesday afternoon, according to reports. The motorcyclist was thrown from the motorcycle, and the man in his 20s involved died. Police have seized the motorcycle for technical investigation and filed a report of negligence in traffic.

In Malmö, a man died after an accident involving a truck and a cyclist on Lockarps kyrkoväg on Wednesday afternoon, with the cyclist, a man in his 70s, taken by ambulance to the hospital but not saved. The victim's relatives have been notified. The alarm came around lunchtime near the Petersborg traffic junction, with initial reports indicating a motorcyclist ended up in a ditch.

Rescue services, ambulance, and police were alerted to the scene, leading to road closures including Lockarps Kyrkoväg and parts of the E6. A traffic accident occurred at the same viaduct the previous week, where a car reportedly hit a concrete well and landed on a slope. A traffic investigation will be conducted for the Malmö accident, and police will consider if the previous accident at the same location is relevant.

In the Wednesday Malmö accident, two people were taken to hospital with unclear injuries, and a dog was reportedly in the car. The incident is currently classified as manslaughter and traffic negligence. Elsewhere, a man died from his injuries after a quad bike fell on him outside Uppsala, with police stating it is too early to say if there is any criminal suspicion.

Separately, a 21-year-old man has been convicted for causing another's death and negligence in traffic after a fatal bicycle accident in Malmö, receiving a conditional sentence and day fines. In the Stockholm archipelago, two cars collided on road 278 at Furusund, near the ferry to Yxlan. An ambulance helicopter and rescue services were on site, and the road is closed, but police are redirecting traffic to and from the ferry.

On the E4 between Örkelljunga and Markaryd, several vehicles are involved in an accident with a very large impact on traffic. One lane in the northbound direction is closed, with long queues at the site, and traffic is expected to return to normal by 14:00. Police have seized a suspected dangerous object in central Norrköping after a public alert at lunchtime on Thursday.

The object was examined by experts and then confiscated and moved, with a report filed for preparation of public devastation and violation of the law on flammable and explosive goods, but no suspected person has been identified. In Gävle, two pistols and one kilogram of cannabis were found in a forest area in Sätra in early March. Since December, authorities have seized weapons, nearly half a million kronor in cash, and a total of 13 kilograms of narcotics, using search efforts with dogs in places like stairwells and forest areas, leading to the detention of about 20 people.

Police suspect the weapons and narcotics in Sätra may be linked to the same criminal group, with an ongoing preliminary investigation and items sent to the National Forensic Centre for analysis. 67% at opening after Donald Trump's speech, according to market reports.
