Last month, in Suginami Ward, Tokyo, a mother and a first-grade elementary school student were hit and killed by a car coming out of a car maintenance company, and the mechanic who was arrested said, "I stepped on the brakes, but the car went backwards," according to an interview with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
On the other hand, no defects have been found in the car so far, and the Metropolitan Police Department will continue to investigate the driving situation at that time.
On the 26th of last month, illustrator Chihiro Sugimoto (43) and her daughter Nagi (1), a first-grader in elementary school, were killed when they were hit by a passenger car that came out of the store of an automobile maintenance company in the back of the street.
According to the investigation so far, it is known that the 6-year-old mechanic who is suspected of negligent driving manslaughter was in charge of the vehicle inspection work of the car that caused the accident at that time, but in the subsequent investigation, "I stepped on the brake, but the car went backwards" It was found in an interview with the Metropolitan Police Department.
On the other hand, it means that so far no glitches have been identified in the operation of the car.
The mechanic was released pending disposal on the 50th, so we will continue to investigate voluntarily, such as how the brakes and accelerator were operated.
