Last month, police sent a letter of appreciation to four junior high school students for helping a 85-year-old man with a light truck who fell into an irrigation canal in Komaki City, Aichi Prefecture.

It is said that four people were going to school due to the influence of the new coronavirus, and they were going to school at a different time than usual, and they encountered an accident.

The letter of appreciation was given to four third-year male students who attend Iwasaki Junior High School in Komaki City.

On May 5, Hiroaki Kawai handed a letter of appreciation to Komaki Police Station and said, "Thanks to your quick and courageous action, I was able to prevent a major accident."

The four found a light truck tumbling into an irrigation channel before leaving the city before noon on the 27th of last month.

The 85-year-old man was stuck in the driver's seat, and the four immediately called on a nearby elementary school teacher for help and helped him out.

The man only had a slight injury to his arm.

It is said that four people were going to school due to the influence of the new coronavirus, and they were going to school at a different time than usual, and they encountered an accident.

One of the four people who received the letter of appreciation, Mr. Shun Hashimoto, said, “I was surprised when I found it, but I was glad that we could help, so I'm glad I could take action.”
