Authorities and prosecutors investigating the case of a cleaning lady who was at the helm of a train when it went off the rails near Stockholm and crashed into a three-story apartment building say they have cleared the woman of any wrongdoing.
"Everything indicates that this was an accident resulting from several unfortunate circumstances that allowed the woman to set the train in motion in connection with the cleaning," prosecutor Pär Andersson told the press.
Immediately following the accident, both Stockholm's public transit company SL and the line's operator Arriva said they believed they cleaner had stolen the train, but now claim they made no absolute statements.
