Man arrested over fatal hit-and-run of 80-year-old woman claims he thought he struck a deer

AOMORI (TR) – Aomori Prefectural Police have arrested a 22-year-old company employee over the fatal hit-and-run of an 80-year-old woman.

The body of the woman body was undiscovered in tall grass for nearly a week after the collision, reports TV Asahi (Sep. 7).

Seiji Miura is accused of striking the elderly victim while driving on a national highway in the village of Rokkasho just after 9:30 p.m. on August 16.

Upon his arrest, Miura partially denied the allegations, offering a bizarre excuse for fleeing the scene. “I thought I collided with a deer,” the suspect told investigators. “I got out of the car and checked the vicinity, but I couldn’t find anything, so I drove away.”

Recent on-site investigations conducted by police, with the suspect present, confirmed that the stretch of road was pitch black at the time of the incident.

Due to the extreme darkness and the brutal force of the crash, the victim was not immediately located. It was not until six days later that her lifeless body was discovered in the brush beyond the road’s guardrail.

According to police, the woman had suffered a fractured pelvis, indicating she was violently launched through the air upon impact before landing completely out of sight.

青森（TR）——青森县警方逮捕了一名22岁的公司员工，该员工涉嫌肇事逃逸致一名80岁老妇死亡。

据朝日电视台（9月7日）报道，车祸发生后近一周，这名女性的遗体才在草丛中被发现。

三浦诚二被指控于 8 月 16 日晚上 9 点 30 分刚过，在六所村的国道上驾车撞倒了一名老年受害者。

三浦被捕后，部分否认了这些指控，并给出了一个离奇的逃逸理由。“我以为我撞到了一只鹿，”嫌疑人告诉调查人员，“我下车查看了周围，但什么也没发现，所以就开车离开了。”

警方最近在嫌疑人在场的情况下进行的现场调查证实，事发时该路段漆黑一片。

由于天色极暗，加上撞击力巨大，受害者未能立即被找到。直到六天后，人们才在路护栏外的灌木丛中发现了她冰冷的遗体。

据警方称，该女子骨盆骨折，表明她在撞击时被猛烈抛向空中，然后完全落入视线之外。
