9-person casualty truck accident Fatal driver's brake complaint complaint Company search January 29 17:28
Last September, a driver in a Kobe city crashed into a car and hit another car, killing and injuring nine people. I understand. Police have searched the transportation companies at work for suspicion of negligence, injury, or death during their work, and are examining for any poor maintenance.
In September of last year, a heavy truck descending on a slope in Nada Ward, Kobe City, collided with six vehicles one after another, and then fell into a river beside the road. (57 at that time) died, and eight people including pedestrians were seriously injured.
According to previous investigations, the truck is said to have gone down the slope for several kilometers without braking, but before the accident, the driver who died complained to the company's boss of the brake failure. I found out by interviewing the investigators.
Police searched the Sun Service, a transportation company in Tamana, Kumamoto, where the driver was working, and the Sun Express, headquartered in Settsu, Osaka.
The police are analyzing the confiscated materials and conducting interviews with persons involved in the company to check for any poor maintenance.
