In Yachimata City, Chiba Prefecture, a truck crashed into a line of elementary school students and five children were killed or injured. I found out by interviewing the people concerned.
On the 12th, police are witnessing a driver to conduct on-site inspections and investigate the circumstances leading up to the accident.
On the 28th of last month, a truck crashed into a line of elementary school students on their way home from school in Yachimata City, Chiba Prefecture, killing boys in third and second grades and leaving an eight-year-old girl unconscious. Boys aged 6 and 6 were seriously injured.
Police arrested Hiroshi Umezawa (60), who was driving a truck, and investigated it on suspicion of dangerous driving fatal injury, but in response to the investigation, "I did not notice the line of elementary school students" about the situation at the time of the accident. I found out in an interview with the investigators that I explained that.
On the morning of the 12th, police placed a truck of the same size on the scene and conducted a site inspection in the presence of Suspect Umezawa to confirm the situation at the time of the accident.
In response to the investigation so far, Umezawa also stated that he bought alcohol at a convenience store and drank it in the car before the accident, so was the police in a state where he could drive normally at that time? We are also investigating.
