Swedish police say five people have been killed when their car plunged more than 25 meters from a highway bridge into a canal in the capital of Stockholm.
Police spokeswoman Eva Nilsson said today that divers have recovered the bodies of five men, born between 1983 and 1996.
None have been identified.
The cause of the accident on the E4 highway in Stockholm's Sodertalje district was not known. Swedish media said it's believed the car smashed into a road barrier and then plunged into the water.
At the time of the pre-dawn accident, the bridge over the Sodertalje canal was closing after it had been opened to let a vessel sail through. Its warning lamps were flashing and two barriers were blocking the road.
