According to the police, of the four men in the car, one has died, two are in critical condition and unconscious, and one is seriously injured.

Just after 12:30 PM on the 24th, there was a report to the fire department from a witness that there was a single-car accident on the road atop the embankment of the Tenryu River in Matsuo Shimizu, Iida City.

When the police and fire department arrived, they found that a passenger car had collided with a maintenance bridge leading to a sluice gate at the junction with a tributary. According to the fire department, four men found inside the car were unconscious and transported to the hospital.

According to the police, one person has been confirmed dead, two others are in critical condition and unconscious, and another person has been confirmed to be conscious but seriously injured.

According to the investigation, it is reported that the car was driving on the road atop the embankment from the upstream direction of the river, and both the passenger car and the maintenance bridge are severely damaged.

The police are investigating the details of the accident.

The site is on the right bank about 100 meters upstream from Suijin Bridge over the Tenryu River.

A company employee near the site: I woke up to a loud noise. A male employee in his 60s from a company near the site said, I was sleeping in the break room when I woke up to a loud boom sound.

A little later, when I went to see the site, there were several ambulances parked.

The bridge leading to the sluice gate control building had fallen down, and a car was crushed underneath it.

The road is wide enough for cars to pass each other, and there are times when the traffic is heavy.

Ive heard that there have been accidents in the past where people fell from the road in this area, so I want to be careful, they said.

A man living nearby: A sound like a sudden start, followed immediately by a thud A man in his 40s living near the accident site said, I think it was around noon, but I heard a kyurukyurukyuru sound like a sudden start, followed immediately by a thud.

Ten minutes later, when the fire truck stopped at the embankment and I went to see, the car was completely crushed, and I felt that the situation was life-threatening.

I occasionally pass through this road, and I have always felt that there are many cars that speed.
