Five people were injured in a car crash involving five vehicles Tuesday morning in central Tokyo, but none was in a serious condition, local police said Tuesday.
A truck rammed into three pedestrians and hit four vehicles as it entered a crossroad in the capital's Shimbashi business district at about 9:45 a.m., they said.
The male truck driver in his 30s, the male driver of a passenger vehicle in his 40s and the three passersby in their 20s to 50s were injured, the police said.
Investigators suspect the truck ignored a red light as it collided into the passersby, later hitting a passenger car and a bus as well as a truck and a tour bus waiting in the opposite lane.
The tour bus was carrying about 40 preschool children who were out on a school trip, but none of them were injured.
