The Swedish painter, Lars Felix, 75, died on Sunday, burnt inside his car after he was involved in a horrific traffic accident, when the police car he was driving veered on the wrong side of the road and collided with a truck, according to the announcement of the Swedish media on this Monday morning.
The Death of The Painter Lars Felix!
The pioneers of social media shared a video clip of the moment of the accident, which resulted in the two cars set on fire, and the killing of Lars Felix and the two police officers assigned to protect him.
According to Swedish news websites, the 45-year-old truck driver was flown to hospital by helicopter, as he was seriously injured, and the accident will be investigated by the special prosecutor’s office.
The collision occurred shortly before 3 p.m. in Markard in Kronoberg County, Sweden, and Lars Felix’s relatives and officers were informed.
The head of the Special Prosecutor’s Office, Anders Jacobson, said: “With the information I have now, it indicates that it was an accident, but the investigation is still at a very early stage.”
The vehicle carrying Flex was reportedly traveling at high speed before veering into the other lane and colliding with the truck, becoming trapped beneath it, setting both vehicles on fire.
“I cannot say at this time whether there are any criminal suspicions,” police spokesman Rikard Lundqvist said.
The busy E4 road where the accident occurred was closed while police were talking to witnesses, and it is scheduled to reopen at around 3am today.
According to the Swedish Expressen website, the rescue service and police said: “It will take a lot for the car to pass into the other lane, since it is separated by a wire fence.
This section of the road has reportedly been rebuilt several times in recent years to improve traffic safety, and a police press conference is scheduled for Monday.
It should be noted that “Flex” is famous for his offensive cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and has been under the protection of the police since 2007, after receiving numerous threats for insulting our Prophet.
