On the 27th, the Japan Transport Safety Board released an investigation report into the accident in which a fourth-grade girl was hit and killed by a train at a Joshin Dentetsu railway crossing in Takasaki City.
It is believed that the girl was chasing a dog that had entered the crossing and did not notice the approaching train.
The board recommends that such crossings be abolished or converted into "Class 1 crossings" equipped with barriers and other equipment.
As a measure to prevent recurrence, it called for measures such as installing warning signs until the conversion is made.
The prefecture has indicated its intention to abolish all 74 Class 4 crossings in the prefecture at the time of the accident, and to convert them to Class 1 crossings even if this is difficult.
