Last July, a 52-year-old man who appeared to be running was struck and killed by a train at a JR Karatsu Line railroad crossing in Mikazuki-cho, Ogi City. The man was wearing earphones and could not hear the train whistle or the sound of the train running, and it is possible that he did not notice the train approaching.
To prevent recurrence, if it is not possible to abolish railroad crossings, it is desirable to increase the safety awareness of people passing by.
