見張り不十分なまま作業か　３人は直前にホーム避難―東武特急４人死亡事故、１週間

【図解】新鹿沼駅の現場見取り図栃木県鹿沼市の東武日光線新鹿沼駅で、特急列車が除草作業員に衝突し４人が死亡した事故で、線路上に当時、計７人がいて、３人は接近に気付いてホーム上に避難していたことが２６日、捜査関係者への取材で分かった。 Safety monitoring may have not been adequate in the work to remove weeds on railway tracks at a station in eastern Japan a week ago, during which four workers died after being hit by an incoming train, according to local police and the Japan Transport Safety Board of the country's transport ministry.
