This one's a bit long and involved, although there are luckily some words that pop up over and over again. I'd rate it advanced. If it seems like too much for you just read what you can, or maybe skim for what looks accessible to you. It's also a bit sad, but there is some interesting information in it. Here we go:
運転中てんかん発作か 6人死亡事故の容疑者 県警見解
栃木県鹿沼市で登校中の小学生の列にクレーン車が突っ込み、児童6人が死亡した事故で、県警は20日、自動車運転過失致死容疑で調べを受けている運転手柴田将人容疑者(26)=日光市=が、てんかんの発作を起こしたため、突然意識を失い、事故を起こしたとの見方を固めた。
And right into the vocab we go (and there's a lot):
てんかん(癲癇) -- epilepsy. The kanji for this seem to not be used so often (they're even in parentheses on
