  "account": "Two men lost their lives and eight others sustained injuries during separate incidents involving traditional danjiri festival floats in Osaka Prefecture on October 10. One accident occurred when a danjiri float overturned while making a sharp turn, crushing a participant beneath it at an intersection in Nagataki, Izumisano City. The 51-year-old man, serving as a takari - a position involving riding on the side of the danjiri to maintain balance during movement and sharp turns - was pronounced dead at the hospital. Eight other men were injured, with two suffering serious injuries such as broken bones. In a separate incident, a 48-year-old man from Izumi City was struck and killed by a danjiri being pulled through Miyacho, Izumiotsu City. Police are investigating the circumstances of both accidents, including the cause of the float overturning and the second man's contact with the danjiri.",
