A large oil tanker sailed over the wreckage of Indie band Viola Beach's car moments after it plummeted off a bridge that opened to allow the vessel through.
Kris Leonard, River Reeves, Tomas Lowe, Jack Dakin and their manager Craig Tarry, all aged between 20 and 33, died when their car plunged more than 24 metres from a highway bridge into a canal south of Stockholm.

According to the Daily Telegraph the latest disclosure raises the possibility that they could have survived the initial fall and instead been killed by the oil tanker.
Swedish broadcaster SVT reported the ship's captain thought the car's wreckage was a large mass of snow floating in the water.
