What happened on June 16 may have involved snap, crackle and pop, but events in Tokyo's Meguro-ku on that Sunday afternoon were a hell of a lot more serious than a breakfast cereal, according to Shukan Shincho (6/27).
"This huge sound (snap) made me jump up and look at what had caused it," a witness to the pandemonium says. "This car had slammed into an electricity pole (crackle), sending it toppling to the ground. The engine was still running and the driver (pop) still had his foot on the gas. When I looked really closely, I noticed there was still a woman caught underneath the car."
The poor wretch trapped beneath the vehicle was one of only six women the 82-year-old driver of the car plowed into that afternoon. Two of the little old man's victims were seriously hurt, while the remaining four escaped with flesh wounds.
