Tuesday, 23 July 2013
A Danish family missed death when their car hit a boulder in a busy motor way in the southern Swedish town of Malmo. The effect was that the boulder placed in the middle of the road cause the Danish family car to leave the carriage way and over turned as see on this image.

This was a miraculous escape from the death given the violent nature of the accident and Swedish police feels that the rocks in the road, if placed by some one then it is a serious criminal action.

According to Swedish television and the tabloid paper, Aftonbladet, a car drove into a ditch and flipped over on the Outer Ring Road in Malmö  in Klågerupsvägen at 3 o'clock  in the morning as shown above.
Of the five people in the family car, the parent's couple were subsequently hospitalized with respective injuries to the pelvis and face.
None of the couple's three children was injured in the accident, and all are out of danger, police in Malmö.

During the night, two more incidents occurred during the same footbridge. The first alarm came 23:17, when three vehicles ran into rocks in the northbound direction and damaged their tires.

Two hours later a car and a truck had to swerve at the same location in the southbound direction and the matter was reported to the police. Two of the events have criminal tags as it creating danger to another person of attempted bodily harm.
"Right now it's unclear whether they have been thrown down from a viaduct over the road or if someone has placed them on the road, but it is very serious. In particular, on a highway with high speeds it is very dangerous," says Nils Norling from Malmö Police to Aftonbladet.
According Malmö Police, it was pure luck that the incident did not end up worse than it did.
"It is a crime to throw boulders on the road. It could easily have ended in a fatal accident," says Paul Juhlin from Malmö Police to Swedish television.
