Five Police Cars Collide During High-Speed Chase in Stockholm

A high-speed police chase on the evening of December 13, 2025, in Stockholm culminated in a dramatic collision involving five police vehicles. The incident began in Västertorp when a driver, a man in his 20s, failed to stop at a police checkpoint, triggering a pursuit that stretched through several neighborhoods including Järva, Spånga, Rinkeby, Tensta, and ultimately Bromma.

According to police spokesperson Daniel Wikdahl, the chase involved high speeds but occurred under relatively light traffic conditions. The fleeing vehicle was forcibly stopped near Bromma Blocks, where the suspect was arrested on suspicion of gross reckless driving and drug-related offenses.

The intense pursuit resulted in multiple collisions between police vehicles, with reports indicating that four police cars were damaged to the extent that they required towing. One officer was also attended to by ambulance personnel for medical checks following the incident. The collisions happened partly due to the aggressive maneuvers during the chase, including the suspect striking one police car and at least one other collision between police vehicles themselves.

This event has raised concerns regarding the risks involved in high-speed police chases within urban areas. Police continue their investigations, with the possibility of additional charges against the suspect as they review all circumstances surrounding the pursuit.

The incident underscores the challenges law enforcement faces during dangerous pursuits, balancing the need to stop suspects with public safety considerations. The arrested driver, a male in his 20s, remains in custody while authorities proceed with their legal process.
