Japanese police have arrested seven former executives of Mitsubishi Motors on suspicion of falsifying reports into a fault that caused a fatal accident.

The seven all worked for the company back in January 2002, when a woman was killed by a wheel that broke off a passing Mitsubishi truck.

Up until March of this year it had blamed improper maintenance.

It now admits that a design defect in the wheel hub was to blame and has recalled 112,000 trucks in Japan.

The seven who have been arrested are also accused of professional negligence that resulted in death or injury.
