Masayo Tanaka (72), who lives in Nakagome, Saku City, Nagano Prefecture, was moving around 5:30 pm on the 12th of this month, because the irrigation channel overflowed in the adjacent district, so she moved her home car to a hill with her daughter in preparation for flooding. It means that I let you.
At that time, I crossed the Nakagome Bridge over the Nametsu River, a tributary of the Chikuma River, but there was no abnormality.
After about 6:00 pm after about 30 minutes, when I returned to the house from the hill, I crossed the bridge again. As a result, the muddy stream flowed up to the top of the bridge, the car stopped moving, and was left in the car temporarily.
Mr. Tanaka looked back on the situation at the time, saying, “Because it was dark, I did not know at all that water was accumulating.
The water flowed into the car and was used to the height of an ankle.
After more than an hour, the police riot police came and lived nine deaths.
Mr. Tanaka said, “I thought it was really good. The flow was really strong.
