Bus, fire truck and taxi ended up in the ditch

In Rosersberg north of Stockholm a bus stopped at a bus stop. It then slided on the road and ended in the ditch. The passengers and the driver used a window to get out. Police and rescue services were called. When the fire truck arrived it too slid into the ditch, shortly followed by a Taxi...

Ice is a real problem in Stockholm right now because of the difference in temperature between day and night. The smaller roads are covered with ice, or have only "tire tracks" in the ice. The pavements and pedestrian roads are covered with ice. Yesterday Södersjukhuset (one of our hospitals) had 80 cases of different bone fractures caused by ice.
In december a woman fell in front of a train at Östervik close to where I live. She survived but have leg injuries.
And of course a lot of accidents, not always caused by high speed, like in the case with the bus standing still at a bus stop and sliding of the road...
