Former Japanese bureaucrat Kozo Iizuka, 93, died in prison after serving time for a 2019 car crash in Tokyo that killed a 31-year-old woman and her 3-year-old daughter, and injured nine others. Iizuka mistook the gas pedal for the brake. The court ordered him to pay around 140 million yen to the victims' families. His case led to discussions on preventing accidents involving older drivers in Japan.
