On May 3, an investigative source revealed that the 68-year-old bus driver arrested for a fatal accident on a highway in northeastern Japan had been involved in multiple previous traffic crashes this year.
The accident occurred on May 2 on a highway in Miyagi Prefecture, leaving one person dead and several others injured. The driver was immediately taken into custody on suspicion of negligent driving resulting in death.
Preliminary findings show that before this serious incident, the driver had a history of involvement in several other traffic accidents in 2023. While those prior collisions did not cause major casualties, they indicated a pattern of unsafe driving over time.
