Akihiro Nabae, deputy mayor of Saijo city in Ehime, Japan, died after being crushed by a giant festival float weighing up to three tonnes during the annual Saijo festival. The incident occurred on Saturday during the parade of 11 floats. Authorities are investigating whether the float fell or Nabae lost balance. This follows two other deaths at separate traditional festivals in Japan last week.
