In a shocking event, a male pedestrian was reportedly hit by a vehicle after falling in the middle of the road. However, instead of stopping to assist, the vehicle driver escaped the scene. Tragically, the victim succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.

Safety on the roads is a serious matter in Japan, and hit and run incidents are treated as major crimes. There's a strong focus on pedestrian safety and drivers are expected to exercise extreme caution. This incident has sparked a discussion about the need for further safety enhancements.

Like in Japan, hit and run incidents are considered serious crimes in both the US and EU, where drivers are legally obliged to stop and provide assistance in the event of an accident. The repercussions for violating these laws can include imprisonment, fines, and disqualification from driving.
