On the other hand, on the Kyushu Expressway in Higashisata-cho, Kagoshima City, a light wagon car with three people on board collided with the median strip at around 5:00 pm on the 12th and overturned.
In this accident, Kensaku Sakae (57) of Uenosono-cho, Kagoshima City, who was driving, and Masato Fukuyama, 75 years old of 1-chome Arata, Kagoshima City, who was in the back seat, died. A 62-year-old man in the passenger seat was not injured.
The scene was an uphill slope with a gentle left curve, and the light wagon was running on the uphill lane, but it moved to the right and collided with the median strip.
The three were work colleagues who were on their way home from a demolition site in Shibushi City. Police are investigating the cause of the accident.
The cause of both accidents is under investigation, but the heat is severe now, and it is time to feel sleepy and tired while driving. Pedestrians are also less alert due to the heat, so be careful when driving or going out.
