改造車事故で娘の意識戻らぬまま　保険適用されず、損保会社を提訴 [北海道]：朝日新聞

This page reports on a car accident in Sapporo that occurred in November 2023. A tire detached from an illegally modified vehicle and struck a 4-year-old girl on the sidewalk, leaving her unconscious. The girl's family has filed a lawsuit seeking over 300 million yen in damages against the perpetrator and insurance companies. The vehicle lacked optional insurance but had mandatory auto liability coverage. The family is seeking coverage under an "other vehicle operation clause" in the wife's optional insurance policy. Now six years old, the girl has sustained cervical spine damage and remains unconscious.
