In September, at a railroad crossing on the Keikyu Line in Kanagawa Ward, Yokohama City, a 67-year-old truck driver who worked for a transportation company died in an accident where a train collided with a stuck truck and derailed. More than 30 people, including drivers and passengers, were seriously injured.
According to police and the Japan Transport Safety Board, the train driver (30) first applies the normal brakes and then uses the stronger emergency brakes after noticing the signal that signals an abnormality at the railroad crossing. It means that he was doing it.
During this time, the train had traveled about 180 meters, and police sent documents to the driver on the 7th, suspecting that the delay in the emergency brake had led to an accident, on suspicion of accidental fatal injury.
Police have not disclosed their approval or disapproval.
Police also sent documents to the dead truck driver on suspicion of accidental driving injuries, alleging that he had caused an accident by being stuck in a railroad crossing.
