If they establish any cause, I reckon it will be insufficient attention on the part of the driver. My guess is that he nodded off. Or maybe he was checking a map, or writing/reading mail on his phone. I pretty sure he wasn't wearing a seat belt but why don't they tell us this? If they did, it might help to convince others to wear their seat belts.

Seat belts save lives, I just hope this story doesn't have a follow up story with a gomenasai suicide note being found in his apartment. But on the other hand, going home at 4:30 am, he may have been leaving a bonenkai and heading home. You never know until the full story comes out.
