tl;dr He was talking on his cell phone, driving a large truck carrying asphalt, driving only using one hand, and ran a red light, which caused him to strike the child.
Basically he was extremely negligent, which caused an accident, which killed a child.
What’s the point in saying the nationality of the driver? Wait, that’s only work for “foreigners”
Pain. Heartbreaking. But these words are an understatement & injustice to the boy’s parents…
Edit: Just to add in to the original comment, right here.
Stay safe on the roads, sub-redditors of this sub, regardless of whether you drive a vehicle or a pedestrian. Watch out for cars even at protected crossings, and cross/turn/move off only when the traffic has fully come to a stop. Be alert when crossing/driving, because you never know if someone will pull something unique out of their pocket just so that they can continue on their way in a car, in an unnatural way like going against driving regulations/traffic rules to save x seconds/minutes at a pedestrian’s crossing just to reach their destination earlier/on time or because they are late and rushing or just…unexplainable.
Road safety goes both ways…both the pedestrians and the drivers have to look out for each other…
isekai’ed, i hope he’s in a favorable world.
This sentencing is a joke. In what world do you get 2 years for leaving a child in a permanent coma…? Not to mention the permanent psychological trauma and financial burden on the family. Can nothing more be done?
Two years for running a red light and killing a kid? That’s it? SMMFH
Jesus fucking Christ. That’s all I got. They had to remove most of the poor lads brain to keep him “alive”. They should have thrown the key away with that driver.
The amount of negligent driving I see here is mind boggling. Just zero forethought or awareness of possible consequences with a lot of them.
The child had most of his brain removed to sustain his life. Absolutely horrible. This is comparable to death. It’s almost as if he killed someone, and to a certain extent it can be argued that he did. Even though the boys body is alive, everything that makes him, him, is gone. So sad.
And i thought sentencing in my country was a joke. Japan has the same problem huh, poor boy and his parents…
