This month, the Metropolitan Police Department arrested a 69-year-old carpenter suspected of causing death by dangerous driving in a hit-and-run case in which a 70-year-old man was hit by a car and died on the street in Nerima Ward, Tokyo.
It means that he partially denied the allegations against the investigation.
Koji Shiratori (69), a carpenter living in Nerima Ward, Tokyo, was arrested.
According to the Metropolitan Police Department, after 3:00 pm on the 4th of this month, Kazuo Tabata (79), who lives in Wako City, Saitama Prefecture, was driving a car while drinking alcohol on the street of Asahi-cho , Nerima Ward, and was riding a bicycle, suspected of causing death by reckless driving and hit and run.
The suspect was identified because a security camera in the surrounding area showed a box-type car driving away at the time of the crash.
In response to the investigation, he said: “I drank alcohol and drove a car.”
There was eyewitness information that the car collided and dragged a man on a bicycle, and Mr. Tabata fell about 280 meters from where he collided, so the Metropolitan Police Department is investigating on the detailed situation at that time.
