On September 8th, I was participating in the bicycle road race “Tour de Hokkaido” on a road in Kamifurano-cho, Hokkaido.
Kota Igarashi (21), a student at Chuo University, was killed in a head-on collision with a car in the opposite lane.
In response to this accident, the Tour de Hokkaido Association, which organizes the tournament, announced on the 6th,
We announced that we have established a “Safety Measures Study Group” to investigate the cause of the accident and discuss future safety measures.
The members of the review committee are made up of the following five experts.
・Megumi Kotani (Hokkaido Traffic Safety Promotion Committee First Vice-Chairman)
・Toru Hagiwara (Professor, Graduate School of Engineering, Hokkaido University)
・Tatsuo Hayashi (Director of the Asian Continental Cycling Federation)
・Miyazawa Takashi (Miyazawa Takashi Management Office bravo)
・Toshio Muto (Associate Professor, School of Public Policy, Hokkaido University)
Organizers hope to hold the first meeting in October.
