A dashcam caught the moment of the crash.

A minivan collided into a large bus in Yamanashi Prefecture in June 2025.

Six people in the minivan suffered minor and serious injuries.

Police arrested the Pakistani man driving the van that is suspected to have been an unlicensed taxi.

The man allegedly signed a contract to receive fares for driving foreign tourists between Tokyo’s Asakusa and the fifth station of Mount Fuji.

He has reportedly admitted to charges.
