At the entrance of the highway tunnel from Tokyo to Mount Fuji, a tourist bus collision occurred, resulting in 47 passengers being injured, including 2 Taiwanese nationals. The bus involved in the accident was a travel coach from the well-known travel platform KKDAY, which stated that it would assist the injured travelers with their return and provide a full refund. The situation at the scene was severe, causing a traffic jam, and travelers waited for assistance in the cold weather. After the accident, rescue vehicles arrived quickly. The incident turned what was supposed to be a day trip to Mount Fuji into an unpleasant experience.
At the entrance of a highway tunnel in Tokyo, Japan, leading to Mount Fuji, a tourist bus collision occurred, injuring 47 passengers. The damaged bus belonged to a well-known travel platform, which stated that around a dozen travelers needed to be hospitalized, including two tourists from Taiwan, and they will assist with their return, insurance, and full refund matters.
According to reports, aerial footage showed police and ambulances parked near the tunnel entrance, with the rear end of the red bus severely damaged, and another bus suffered extensive damage. The two tourist buses departed from Tokyo on the morning of the 5th, heading to the popular Lake Kawaguchi attraction, but were involved in a collision on the highway, resulting in at least 47 injuries, most of whom were foreign travelers, including those from Taiwan. The incident also caused traffic to come to a standstill.
One affected citizen stated that the accident occurred shortly after 10 AM, as they prepared to merge onto the highway from a rest area. After hours of traffic jams, they felt quite impatient, and many even got out of their cars; the scene resembled a doomsday scenario from a movie.
Vehicles at the accident site were parked aside to allow ambulances to pass. The official response from the platform mentioned that they had assisted more than ten travelers to receive medical care, including two from Taiwan, while the others were from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. Following the accident, the trip has been terminated, and the platform stated it would assist travelers with their return, provide insurance support, and full refunds, emphasizing that the bus met regulations and would provide evidence related to the accident.
After the accident, the guide on the bus attempted to distribute emergency rations and drinking water, but the temperature at that time was only about 10 degrees Celsius, with insufficient warm blankets, forcing many travelers to wait for a replacement bus by the roadside. After five hours, some travelers were still stranded at the scene; the originally enjoyable day trip to Mount Fuji was thus affected, but fortunately, no casualties were reported.
