【Father dies from drowsy driving, mother left with severe disabilities】 Driving at nearly 100 km/h on a road with a 40 km/h speed limit About 10 minutes before the crash, the truck weaved left and right, crossed the center line, and came close to colliding with oncoming cars multiple times ↓ Dashcam footage from a following vehicle also shows the driver sensing danger and putting distance, saying "Let's get away" "This is bad" And finally, without even braking, it entered the oncoming lane and crashed into a couple's car that had been driving in its own lane with no fault at all The father died about one hour after the accident The mother was left with severe aftereffects The bereaved family had repeatedly asked that the offender at least bow his head to the victims' family just once. But that wish kept being ignored Meanwhile the offender posted about his daily life on SNS In court, the defense claimed "distracted driving," but the Kyoto District Court judged from dashcam footage and other evidence that he was in a state where drowsiness made it hard to watch the road ahead. He was sentenced to 2 years and 8 months of imprisonment with hard labor Furthermore, when conveying his feelings to the bereaved family, the offender is said to have stated "I don't remember" "It was drowsy driving, so it couldn't be helped" After release he is also said to have talked about becoming an "operations manager" at his former logistics company Moreover, several months before the accident, the company had already received a complaint about his weaving while on the job. Even so, the response was only a verbal warning. An accident is over in an instant But the suffering of the victims' family lasts a lifetime Instead of running away, how about apologizing to the bereaved family?
