An 18-year-old boy has been arrested over the hit-and-run death of a 65-year-old woman cyclist in Nagoya.
According to police, the incident occurred at around 12:10 a.m. Sunday. Yahoo News quoted police as saying that the boy was driving under the influence of alcohol when he hit Eiko Mori as she was on a crossing at an intersection in Nakamura Ward.
The suspect, who has been charged with vehicular manslaughter, said he fled the scene because he knew he was drunk.

So if he is licensed, he just got it this year. He should get locked and pay back the 300,000yen his parents probably paid for driving school.

vehicular manslaughter? Causing death by driving under the influence?

Hey. . . 18 yrs old Japanese kids don't drink. How could this be? Reminds me of the recent earphones incident minus the alcohol involved.

The person who gave him the alcohol should also be held liable

Um. Not another one! This time the "woman cyclist is a victim". I mean it really reminds me of another similar incident JT brought up recently, though, a "19-year-old male cyclist was the victimizer" in the former article.
May she rest in peace.
