A taxi driver in Japan’s Hyogo prefecture received a commendation from local authorities for his intervention that prevented a young woman from attempting suicide at a dam site. A trip to the dam: Masamune Higashino, 61, reportedly picked up a woman in her 20s from a JR station in the Kanzaki district on Oct. 13 and drove her to a dam within the same area. The cab driver noted that while the woman initially expressed her fondness for dams, she displayed no excitement or interest in taking photos upon reaching the destination.
