The reporter from dn.se says that it looks like the helo impacted the ground and traveled about 100 meters before coming to rest in a ditch. It's completely crushed.
Police describes it as a miracle that 3 persons survived the crash.

Aftonbladet has a witness description of the crash:
"- Den svajade till och gick ner. Sedan snurrade den runt innan den slog i marken."
Which means roughly "It swung and crashed. Then it spun around before hitting the ground."

And this is the crash according to one of the survivors.
1. Helicopter approaching from the east at high speed and low altitude. All on board not in winch etc.
2. Helicopter descends and hits the ground tail first. Left skid breaks off.
3. Nose hits the ground
4. The helo spins around several times over 100 meters. Cabin disintegrates, windows falls out and tailboom is crushed.
Quick stop gone wrong?
