Ikebukuro

Japanese media are revisiting the 2019 Ikebukuro car crash in which Kozo Iizuka, a former senior industry official, struck pedestrians and left two people dead, including a young child and her father. A new report says his wife had suggested he take the train or bus that day because he was unsteady on his feet, a proposal he refused before causing the accident that injured or killed 12 people. The details have reignited debate over his age, responsibility and the leniency of his sentence.
