An update, from the BBC:
Driver released after deadly Stockholm bus crash
A bus driver arrested after three people were killed and another three injured in a crash in Stockholm on Friday has been released.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the incident after a bus crashed into a bus stop queue on Valhallavägen street in the Swedish capital.
The Swedish Prosecution Authority said on Saturday there was "no reason" to keep the driver, who had been questioned by police, in custody but that "certain investigative measures remain". The man had been arrested on suspicion of three counts of causing death and three of causing bodily harm. Police said there was no reason to think the incident was intentional.
Officials are still trying to establish the identities of the victims. The bus was not in service at the time and no passengers were on board, local media report.
The crash happened near the Royal Institute of Technology university at about 15:23 (14:23 GMT).
Images from the scene show rescue crews appearing to help people trapped underneath the double-decker bus.

From the BBC:
Three people have been killed and and another three injured after a bus crashed into a bus stop in central Stockholm, Swedish police say.
Circumstances surrounding Friday's crash at 15:23 (14:23 GMT) on the Valhallavägen street in the Swedish capital remain unclear.
The bus driver has been arrested and faces charges of causing death and bodily harm, police said in a statement. However, they added there was "currently no indication that the incident was intentional".
Officials are trying to establish the identities of the victims. It is not clear if there were passengers on board.
The incident occurred near the Royal Institute of Technology university.

A witness who owns a shop on the street told SVT the bus hit a pole in front of the bus shelter. They said several people ran into the shop crying.
A woman told the local Expressen newspaper that the bus "mowed down an entire bus stop queue". She said people were screaming and trying to help the injured, while dead people lay on the ground. "There must have been more people under the bus," she said.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said his thoughts were with the victims and their families. "People who might have been on their way home to family, friends, or a quiet evening at home. We do not yet know the cause, but right now my thoughts are primarily with those affected and their loved ones," he posted on X.
