3. Accident Overview
While driving his car, Morita was unable to avoid a collision with a bicycle that entered a T-junction (three-way intersection). Morita himself called an ambulance at the scene and also notified the police. Morita was subsequently questioned by the police.

With the amendment to the Road Traffic Act in April 2026, drivers of passenger cars are now required to be more careful about their responsibilities. In light of the collision that occurred under these circumstances, the club will issue a stern warning to Morita and will continue to raise awareness throughout the club to prevent recurrence, thereby further strengthening our efforts to promote traffic safety.
