Lina Jonhansson, a 24-year-old from Järvsö, died in a single-vehicle car accident outside Bollnäs on Friday evening. She was alone in the vehicle when it veered off the road. Police are now investigating the cause of the crash.
The accident occurred just after 9 p.m. on Friday evening on county road 303 outside Bollnäs in Gävleborg County. According to police, Lina Jonhansson, 24, was driving alone in her car when it suddenly veered off the road and rolled over. She died at the scene from her injuries, and no other people were involved or injured.
Police spokesperson Monica Bergström confirmed the incident and stated: "It is a tragic single-vehicle accident where the driver, a woman in her 20s, died. We are now investigating whether speed, road conditions, or other factors were involved." Emergency services and an ambulance were called to the scene, but despite their efforts, nothing could be done to save her life.
Lina Jonhansson was from Järvsö, a small town in Hälsingland, and is described by those close to her as a cheerful and engaged person. Her family has expressed profound grief over the loss. "Lina was the heart of our family; she will be deeply missed," a relative told Aftonbladet.
Single-vehicle accidents like this are common in Sweden, especially on rural roads during evening hours. According to the Swedish Transport Agency, around 20,000 run-off-road incidents occur annually, though only a few result in fatalities. Police remind drivers of the importance of adjusting speed to conditions, particularly in the dark and on slippery roads. The investigation into the accident is expected to continue over the coming weeks, including a technical examination of the vehicle.
