「なぜ“危険運転”ではないのか」飲酒ひき逃げ死亡事故 署名提出も（テレビ朝日系（ANN）） - Yahoo!ニュース

This page reports on a fatal hit-and-run accident in Saitama involving 25-year-old Kazuki Moriguchi, who was struck by a car driven by 20-year-old Akira Sakamoto. Sakamoto was driving at 120 km/h in a 60 km/h zone, ran a red light, and hit Moriguchi on a crosswalk. While arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, the prosecutor charged him with negligent driving instead. The victim's family launched a petition campaign with 47,000 signatures requesting the charge be changed to dangerous driving. The scheduled trial date was cancelled, giving hope for a charge change.
