Three people died and 10 others were injured, two seriously, after a vehicle collision Saturday night caused by a driver traveling the wrong way down an eastern Japan expressway, police said.

Two drivers including the man held responsible died in the collision and a third was killed when a truck slammed into traffic that had backed up after the first incident.

Police are investigating why the 42-year-old man was driving in the opposite direction on the Tohoku Expressway in Nasushiobara, Tochigi Prefecture.

He was involved in a minor collision with another vehicle before continuing for over 2 kilometers and colliding head-on with a 56-year-old man's vehicle around 10 p.m. Saturday, police said.

Police confirmed Sunday that both men had died. Two more vehicles were caught in the accident, causing a traffic jam that led to a rear-end collision involving a truck over a kilometer from the original crash site.

A woman, 60, in a car struck by the truck, also died in the second accident that involved six vehicles. Police said they have arrested the 54-year-old truck driver on suspicion of negligent driving resulting in death and injury.

The accidents led to temporary closures between the Nasu and Kuroisoitamuro exits on the expressway, which runs between Saitama and Aomori prefectures.
