Takuya Matsunaga, who lost his wife and daughter in a runaway accident in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, gave a lecture on the 27th to people who use cars for business at a private company, saying, "I think I feel impatient when I'm busy, so I have plenty of time and mind. I want you to hold it and obey the traffic rules."
At a lecture held in Shibuya, Tokyo by a beverage manufacturer's labor union, about 100 people who usually drive cars for business such as sales and delivery participated online.
Takuya Matsunaga lost his wife Mana (then 31) and 3-year-old daughter Riko in a runaway accident in Ikebukuro four years ago, and has continued to work to prevent accidents. It was his first time to give a lecture to working people, and he looked back on his memories with the two of them, and said, "When I was told that he had passed away, I could only cry."
After that, "I also work as a company employee, so I understand that you feel impatient when you are busy, but I want you to have time and mind to spare, and follow the traffic rules and work hard. Each person's traffic I believe that safety awareness will help reduce accidents."
A man in his 30s who was in charge of delivery to the participating vending machines said, "I once again felt the responsibility of holding the steering wheel."
Mr. Matsunaga said, "I would appreciate it if you could remember today's story when you are in a hurry at work and think about safe driving."
