An 81-year-old man drove his car into a koban (police box) in Yachimata, Chiba Prefecture, on Friday, injuring two officers.
According to police, the incident occurred at around 11 a.m., Kyodo News reported. Police quoted the driver, who was not injured, as saying he mistakenly pressed the accelerator instead of the brake as he pulled into the parking space beside the koban. His vehicle crashed through the side wall of the koban.
The two officers were taken to hospital after sustaining minor injuries.

People who give out driving license to him must be held accountable.

Was it an accident or did he plan to harm the police as he had a grudge due to a slight, real or perceived.
Only time will tell, let’s see.

Fortunate that the officers had only minor problems, a lot of the police boxes are terribly fragile and even a small car could destroy those with ease.

thats generally the case. Once you do that, it’s over. Time to give up all sets of car keys, forever.

A drive-in movie theater I can understand but a drive-in cop shop? Stop it.

Well OK...if it is any consolation, I have never lived in, nor even been to Yachimata!

Can't really blame him as the koban in question has unclear parking spaces.
