On the 14th of this month, in a hit-and-run incident in Misato City, Saitama Prefecture, where four elementary school students were injured after being struck by a car, it was learned from interviews with the police that the two suspects, both Chinese nationals who were arrested on the 18th, had apparently been drinking together for several hours at a restaurant in the city just before the incident.

On the 14th of this month in Misato City, in a hit-and-run incident where four elementary school students were injured after being struck by a car, the police on the 18th arrested a 42-year-old demolition worker living in the city, a Chinese national named Hongpeng Tou ※, on suspicion of hit-and-run and fleeing the scene after injuring the children with his car in an attempt to avoid being caught for drunk driving. He was sent to the prosecutor’s office this morning.

In addition, Wang Hongli, a 25-year-old Chinese company employee, who was arrested on suspicion of getting into a car knowing that the driver was under the influence of alcohol, was also sent to the prosecutors office.

Regarding the investigation, it is reported that at first, suspect Tou stated about the hit-and-run incident, I left the scene because the other person said they were okay, but the police have not disclosed the subsequent statements or admissions of the two, citing that it would interfere with the investigation.

According to the investigation, the two had been drinking together at a restaurant in the city. Subsequent interviews with the police revealed, based on security camera and dashcam footage, that they are believed to have been drinking for several hours right up until just before the incident.

It is suspected that they left the restaurant and started driving about 30 minutes before the incident.

The car made contact with the curb at the scene of the incident, and the police are investigating in detail, including the amount of alcohol consumed, as they believe there is a possibility that the driver mishandled the steering due to the influence of alcohol.

*The left side of the kanji 郊 in To is 登. Suspect To before turning himself in: On the morning of the 18th, suspect To took a taxi and turned himself in at the Yoshikawa Police Station in Misato City.

According to the taxi driver who gave the suspect a ride, the suspect got into the taxi with two women at the taxi stand at Nishi-Kawaguchi Station around 7:45 a.m.

One of the women told me, I want you to go to the Yoshikawa Police Station, so I headed to the police station.

On the way, we stopped by a convenience store to buy water and a mask, and after about a 40-minute taxi ride, we arrived at the Yoshikawa Police Station around 8:30 a.m.

When they arrived at the police station, the suspect got out of the taxi and went inside.

The driver said about the situation in the car, The suspect sat in the passenger seat, and the two women sat in the back seat.

The two women were talking in Chinese inside the car, but the man remained silent the whole time.

The man was sweating a lot and looked like he was hot.

I thought maybe they did something that required them to go to the police station, since that was their destination, they recalled.

On top of that, he went into the police station wearing a mask.

I didnt realize at all that the person was the suspect in the hit-and-run case, so I didnt feel particularly scared.

If the suspect went to the police station on their own, I think thats good, they said.
