Former temp runs down 11 at Mazda

A former temporary worker at Mazda Motor Corp. hit 11 Mazda employees with a car on the morning of June 22, at the automaker's plant in the city of Hiroshima, killing one and injuring the others, police said.

Toshiaki Hikiji, 42, of Hiroshima, was driving a Mazda Familia at around 7:35 a.m. as workers were beginning to arrive at the Ujina plant.

He fled the scene after hitting the workers but called the police, who found him on a mountain in the nearby town of Fuchu and arrested him.

Of the 11 workers, all of whom were male, Hiroshi Hamada, 39, died and two others were seriously hurt. The other eight sustained minor injuries.

The police found that Hikiji went bankrupt two years ago.

They suspect Hikiji attempted random mayhem using a car and a knife like Tomohiro Kato, who is on trial over the Akihabara rampage. (Kyodo News)
