<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He must not have been at peace. The man was being sent to the police station for inspection, and he was looking around as if he were upset.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On March 26, the Metropolitan Police Department&#8217;s Ikebukuro Station arrested Takahisa Hozumi (62), an electrician living in Itabashi Ward, Tokyo, on suspicion of violating the Motor Vehicle Driving Punishment Act (culpable homicide). The incident occurred just after 11pm on the 24th.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The scene was at an intersection near Sunshine 60, a high-rise building in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. Ms. A, a 75-year-old woman living in Kita Ward, was walking in the crosswalk when she fell for some reason. When the light changed, a light car driven by Hozumi entered the sidewalk and ran over her.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A witness called 119 to report the incident, and Ms. A was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Hozumi was on his way home after finishing work, said a reporter from a national newspaper.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Based on information from witnesses and footage from security cameras, the suspect Hozumi came to the forefront of the investigation. This led to his arrest. In response to police investigation, Hozumi reportedly denied committing the crime, stating the following:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I felt the impact of hitting something, but I thought it was an object. I couldn&#8217;t really see what I hit, so I just went home.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident.</span></p>
