A car driven by a woman in her 80s struck a man and plunged into the sea at a fishing port in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, on Tuesday.

The woman was rescued but was later pronounced dead at the hospital. The man, who is in his 20s, also fell into the water, but sustained a serious injury, resulting in the amputation of his left leg, NTV reported.

According to the police, the incident occurred around 6 a.m. at the Kottoi Fish Market. The woman's kei car was hoisted out of the water by fire department personnel about two hours later. The woman was confirmed dead after being taken to hospital.

The man was pulled from the water by people at the scene.

Police said the market was open for business and it is believed the woman, who worked for a wholesaler, had arrived to participate in an auction.

A witness was quoted by local media as saying, "My guess is that she intended to park as usual, but perhaps she confused the brake pedal with the accelerator."
