A man died and another was missing Friday after their motorboat capsized in high waves caused by Typhoon Megi off Fukui Prefecture.
Hiroyuki Yoshida, 27, Yoichiro Ito, 24, Miyuki Yoneda, 18, and Sosuke Sakai, 32, took the boat out to sea off Fukui on Thursday morning. Their boat experienced engine trouble and began to drift. It capsized around 5 a.m. Friday, police said, quoting survivors.
Clutching the overturned boat, the four drifted roughly 40 km before nearing Atake Beach in Komatsu, Ishikawa Prefecture. Yoshida then swam to shore around 7 a.m. and sought help.
