The fatal car crash that killed all four members of British indie band Viola Beach and their manager last February might have been deliberate or caused by an inattentive driver, according to police in Sweden.

Kris Leonard, River Reeves, Tomas Lowe, Jack Dakin and manager Craig Tarry — who were between 19 and 35 and from Warrington, England — perished in the fatal crash.
