Bus Collides with Bridge Pillar in Malmö, Causing Injuries and Major Traffic Disruptions

On the morning of November 21, 2025, a regional bus crashed into a bridge pillar on E22/Stockholmsvägen in Malmö. The bus driver and one female passenger sustained injuries and were transported to the hospital for medical care. Approximately 15 passengers were on board, with none critically injured but some requiring ambulance evaluations. The accident took place near Segevång shortly before 8 AM. Emergency services, including multiple police patrols, rescue teams, and ambulances, responded swiftly to the scene.

Rescue operations faced challenges reaching the site due to heavy traffic congestion. Emergency responders had to drive against traffic flow from Segevång to assist. Efforts were ongoing to extract the bus driver from the vehicle. Witnesses reported slippery conditions and noted that the bus appeared to skid before colliding with the bridge pillar.

As a result of the accident, Stockholmsvägen was closed in both directions between Hornsgatan and the Sege traffic junction, causing significant traffic jams on this key route into central Malmö. Authorities have not yet provided a timeline for reopening the road as heavy towing services are awaited, with the scene expected to remain active for at least another hour.

This incident highlights the impact of traffic accidents on urban mobility and emergency response challenges in congested areas. The minor nature of injuries among passengers is fortunate, but the disruption to the city’s traffic flow remains substantial.
