While it’s possible that the person behind the wheel of the Subaru was speeding, in this case, the fault lies mostly with the driver of the white minivan.

The action picks up around the 25-second mark when the driver of the white MPV starts to casually steer right towards a parking lot, seemingly unaware of any impending danger.

Whether he or she was inattentive or simply misjudged the distance to that Impreza, it makes no difference since either way, it falls under the category of “driver error”, and a very costly one at that.

All we know is that the accident took place in the Miyagi Prefecture, central Japan, and that no fewer than four cars were damaged in total, including the small minivan driving in front of the dashcam car, and the latter as well.

Hopefully the airbags did their job and lives were saved. The video clearly shows that all driver and passenger airbags were deployed – at least on both vehicles involved in the frontal collision, which the white minivan actually managed to avoid.
