Girl crushed by falling wall at Japanese demolition site.
A high school girl was crushed to death in Gifu, Japan after the wall of a metal processing factory she was passing on her way home from school collapsed on top of her.
The exterior wall of the metal processing factory, owned by Kanzen Co., collapsed on the road running along the north side of the factory. The three-story building had been undergoing demolition work as part of a road-expansion project, police said.
About an hour after the wall collapsed, Yukari Kawase, 17, a second-year student at a local high school, was found trapped underneath the rubble. She was rushed to hospital but confirmed dead. Kawase was killed almost instantly, investigators said.
