On the 19th, a large bus carrying high school soccer club members overturned on a prefectural road in Kagoshima City, injuring 10 people. I understand.

This accident occurred on the 19th on a prefectural road in Haruyama-cho, Kagoshima City, when a large bus carrying the soccer club of Kokubu High School in Kirishima City overturned. 30 students were on the bus driven by a 62-year-old male driver.

According to Kyushu Miyabi Kanko in Kagoshima City, which operated the train, the driver said, “I made a mistake and entered a narrow road.”

The bus was heading from Kirishima City to the soccer field in Fukiage, Hioki City. After getting off the Ijuin Interchange, I was planning to follow Prefectural Road 35, but I accidentally turned left. At a gentle right curve, I rolled over to the right of the road.

The bus is 2.3 meters wide, but the prefectural road at the scene is regarding 3 meters wide, and there was a signboard urging vehicles over 4 tons to refrain from passing along the way.

According to Kyushu Miyabi Kanko, the driver had previously taken students from Kokubun High School to the soccer field in Hioki City, and there were no problems with the alcohol test and health check on the day.

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Kyushu Miyabi Kanko has received three administrative penalties over the past five years for violations of recording duties, such as “failing to check the health of the crew or not keeping records,” and has been suspended from using the bus. I’m here.

President Masaki Motomura commented, “I am very sorry for the injured person. I will try to drive safely so that no accidents will occur in the future.”

Kokubu High School is calling for students who have not been transported to the hospital to be examined at the hospital just in case, and a counselor dispatched from the prefectural board of education has been assigned since the 21st to respond.

The police are investigating whether there were any problems with operation management and whether there was a suspicion of negligent driving injury.
