A man in his 70s who crashed in a high-rise apartment in Japan hit a man in his 50s who was riding a bicycle, killing both.

According to Japanese media, including the Asahi Shimbun, two men were seen lying unconscious on a sidewalk in front of an apartment building in Kita-gu, Osaka, at around 11:25 a.m. on the 19th. Rescue teams were dispatched to the hospital, but they both closed their eyes.

According to a police investigation, one of the dead was a 70-year-old unemployed man who lived on the 43rd floor of an apartment building and was barefoot in casual clothes. The other person was identified as a 59-year-old man who was riding a bicycle.




According to eyewitness testimony, a 70-year-old man was believed to have collided with a man riding a bicycle when he crashed from his residence. The bike appeared to be hit hard enough to fold in half.

A bystander said, `There was a huge explosion sound.' Soon after, I saw two people who had fallen," he said.

Police are conducting further investigations into the 70-year-old man's fall.
