If you drive on routes like this

  • Slow down in unfamiliar conditions: every 1% of extra speed raises fatal-crash risk about 4%
  • Never assume the other vehicle sees you at night or in rain — drive as if it doesn't
  • On two-lane roads, treat every overtake as the highest-risk moment of the trip
  • Wear the seatbelt in every seat; rear belts save lives in head-on impacts
  • Know the local emergency number before you travel — our emergency numbers directory covers every country

What happens next

Police normally publish a confirmed casualty count within 24 to 48 hours once the injured are counted and victims identified. A crash investigation follows: vehicle condition, speed, driver hours and road condition. Where a commercial vehicle is involved, the operator's licence and maintenance records are examined, and families of victims are usually entitled to compensation under the country's motor insurance or accident-compensation rules. We update the Japan live page as new reports surface; the original outlet linked below will carry the confirmed figures first.
