On the night of the 10th, a man fell from a car traveling on the Tomei Expressway in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, and was hit by a car following him and died.
Police are investigating the circumstances of the accident in detail.
At around 8:20 p.m. on the 10th, a person riding in a car on the outbound lane of the Tomei Expressway in Senzoku-cho, Toyota City reported to the police that ``a person was lying in the median strip.''
When the police arrived, they found multiple cars parked at the scene, and one of them was driving on the expressway when a 25-year-old man from Toyokawa City, Aichi Prefecture, fell from the passenger seat and was struck by the car behind him. It turned out that he had been hit.
The man was taken to a hospital, where he died about an hour later.
According to the police, four members of the man's family, including his father, mother, and younger sister, were in the car, and the police interviewed the family and the driver of the car following him to determine the circumstances of the accident. I'm looking into it in detail.
As a result of this accident, the Tomei Expressway's outbound line between Toyota Interchange and Tomei Miyoshi Interchange was closed for nearly three hours.
