[English]

Slowing down

The building was hit by a car without any difficulty, and during the collision, something like fire also erupted. The residents who witnessed the incident described what happened.

The moment of impact, and a bright flash.

It's still dark, 5 a.m.

A truck coming from ahead swerved into the opposite lane

and hit the building, captured just at the moment of impact.

The accident happened on Kawagoe Highway in Asaka, Saitama Prefecture.

When crews arrived, the large truck was crashing into furniture.

It was in a state of being driven into by another vehicle with a creaking sound.

Currently, the truck is being lifted by a tow truck, making a ripping noise.

It’s in the process of being pulled up.

While making a peeling sound, it seems a tow truck is lifting it.

It looks like the truck is being pulled away now.

That’s the situation.

They thought the driver was coming and woke up.

But it just feels like everything is trembling from underneath—yeah, just shaking.

The large truck is heading toward Niiza City.

It went over the median strip into the oncoming lane.

Then it collided with two cars one after another.

A motorcycle trying to dodge the impact was startled, lights on, and got injured.

Let's watch the footage again.

Right after crossing the median strip, the large truck collided with a car.

And then with another one.

The front truck stopped, perhaps surprised.

The large truck didn’t slow down and crashed into a building, and it's visible fire might have started when it hit a utility pole.

常用車と衝突。

さらにもう1台。

驚いたのか手前のトラックは停止します。

大型トラックはスピードを落とさず建物に

突っ込み、電柱にぶつかった時なのか火が

The utility pole was shattered. Yes, that’s right.

The building was a furniture store that was destroyed by the truck.

The windows and walls were knocked down.

Furthermore, dishes and other items were broken and scattered into pieces.

トラックが突っ込み破壊された家具店の中にカメラが入りました。そうです。

Inside the store, where the truck crashed, everything is destroyed.

The windows and shelves collapsed.

There are broken pottery and scattered shards everywhere.

階のスペースがあの自分の父親の進出でして冗談じゃなく

The showroom was raised about 1.5 meters high due to the impact.

It’s like waking up feeling as if the place is floating. The sign, shutter, and windows—everything was knocked down, including the products and furniture.

All the goods, including furniture, were destroyed.

Apart from that, even the pots were shattered into pieces.

It’s uncertain whether the store can reopen. It looks pretty tragic.

Nakashima, the traffic accident investigator, said that given the straight road, drowsiness is unlikely. He suspects the control was lost due to a punctured right front tire.

The truck…

When police arrived, the door was jammed and wouldn’t open.

The 58-year-old man driving the truck appears to be seriously injured.

Also, a male office worker who was driving a different car was involved.

They are investigating the cause of the accident thoroughly.

人が継承で警察が詳しい事故の原因を調べています。

Please, someone come out.

スピードを緩める

ことなく建物に車が突っ込み衝突の瞬間には火バのようなものも衝突された住人が金迫の様子を語りました。

衝突の瞬間上がる日。

まだ暗い午前5時。

前方から来たトラックが反対車線に

はみ出し、建物にぶつかる瞬間を捉えてい

ました。

事故が起きたのは埼玉県朝市の川越街道

です。

取材が駆けつけた時、大型トラックは家具

点に突っ込んだ状態でした。

メリメリという音を立てながら、え、現在

トラックが劣車によって引き上げられてる

といった状況です。

自信が来たかと思って起き上がりました。

もうガシャン

だけ下から揺れてる感じ。

大型トラックは新座市の方向に向かって

走行中。中央分離隊を乗り越え反対車線へ

。

そこで常用者2台に次々と衝突。

避けようとしたバイクは驚いて点灯し怪我

をしたということです。

もう1度映像を見ます。

中央分離隊を超えた直後に大型トラックは

常用車と衝突。

さらにもう1台。

驚いたのか手前のトラックは停止します。

大型トラックはスピードを落とさず建物に

突っ込み、電柱にぶつかった時なのか火が

上がるのがわかります。

柱は3

本ちゃってはい。このシですね。橋は

3本

トラックが突っ込み破壊された家具店の中にカメラが入りました。そうです。

トラックが突っ込んだ具店の店内はトラックが突っ込んだ店内です。窓側にあったがり倒されています。

え、さらには食器などの商品が割れて破片が散乱しています。

階のスペースがあの自分の父親の進出でして冗談じゃなく

1.5m

ぐらい上に浮き上がったような感覚で目が覚めたっていうような話だったので、その看板とシャッターとえ、窓ガラスとで、えっと、ま、商品なんですけど商品基本的に全部倒されちゃってるのと

家具だけでなく

壺も粉なご々なです。そうです。

ね、営業とかも再開できるかもわからないですし、悲惨な感じだなっていう。

交通事故鑑定人の中島さんは自己について直線道路のため居眠りなどは考えにくく右前のタイヤがパンクなどのブルがあって制御ができずになったと話します。

トラックが

警察が駆けつけた時ドアが開かない状態だったという大型トラック

運転していた58歳の男性は重症の模様

また常用者を運転していた会社員の男性

人が継承で警察が詳しい事故の原因を調べています。

の人出てくれ。
