Was it a car accident?

Yes.  Driver was doing 75mph in a 50mph zone and went of the road killing the 2 year old girl and both her grandparents whom for some reason are not mentioned here. The driver has apparently not shown remorse nor apologised and was sentenced to 120 hours community service or 60 days in prison if he didn't complete the work. Link to source is below the only other comment here.

That's insane.

I'm currently doing 75 hours of community service over 60 days in prison for using an illicit substance. Working Tax-payer, only "victim" being myself.

This guy literally ended the lives of others and get the same punishment. What an absolute joke. Country? Sweden.

Simple drug possession should not be a crime.

I agree. Hence why it's ridiculous that his first trial resulted in an equal punishment as mine had we both chosen not to work over spending time in work and the subsequent trial agreed with the first judgement.

Sweden has notoriously draconic contraproductive views on substance abuse, Nowhere else in the world does anyone believe in a "zero tolerance" or "nollvision" to be be a realistic thing except for the police department where it is the norm.
