Viola Beach Södertälje bridge 1 of 4

In the early hours of 13 February 2016, all four band members of Viola Beach together with manager died in a road accident on a lift bridge along the E4 motorway at Södertälje, southwest of Stockholm, Sweden.
At around 2:00 am, witnesses saw the band's car, a Nissan Qashqai, clipping a stationary vehicle, driving through closed barriers and falling through a gap in the bridge, whose middle section was being lifted to let an oil tanker pass underneath. The band had played the previous day at the Where's the Music? festival in Norrköping, and was returning to their hotel at Arlanda Airport.
The Swedish Police opened an inquiry. Among their initial findings was that the driver, whose identity was not disclosed, had no traces of alcohol nor drugs in his blood. It was also found that the car had braked before reaching the bridge, which, as the Police stated, ruled out the possibility that the driver had fallen asleep. However, the accident ultimately remained "completely inexplicable."
In the United Kingdom, inquests into the deaths were opened and adjourned on 3 March at Warrington Coroner's Court by Cheshire coroner Nicholas Rheinberg, who also released the bodies of the five men so their families could make funeral arrangements. In December 2016, the coroner recorded a verdict of "road traffic collision". The official cause of death of one band member was drowning, while the other four victims died of head injuries.
After analysing the video from a traffic camera, the police offered a reconstruction of the events. After the bridge barriers were lowered, two lorries were standing in the right lane of the carriageway and two cars in the left lane, in front of the first set of barriers. The band's car arrived in the left lane, braked and then swerved left, narrowly passing the first car before driving on. The driver in the stationary front car estimated the car's speed at 60 km/h (37 mph). He said the band's car then drove through both sets of barriers without braking. It subsequently struck the middle section of the bridge, which had been lifted by 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in), and fell down 30 m (98 ft) into the canal. It was suggested that the initial impact against the bridge may have been violent enough to cause the death of the car's occupants. The inquest heard that the car's speed was 108 km/h (67 mph).
