“smacking loud”
Karin Hagman was out jogging in the running track which is located near the parking lot outside the gym when she heard a bang.
– It slammed loudly, there was an explosion. I thought it could have been any mischief that someone slapped with a firecracker, but it was no ordinary stone, she says.
Simon Rojasson live about 500 yards from the parking lot and also he heard the blast:
– It shook the whole apartment. People have gone around and said it was a car bomb, he said.
Parts of the roof of the burned-out car is a piece in the vehicle, he says.
– Half the roof is more than 50 meters behind the car. And, it is splinters behind the whole car, says Simon Rojasson.
In the case of a car bomb or not, the police can not currently confirm.
– If it is because it is exploding petrol or a tire we do not know. The task I have been given is that a person had to go to hospital by ambulance, said Albin bark Berg.
