US military imposes Japan-wide alcohol ban after crash

TOKYO - A Japanese man was killed in a truck collision involving a US marine who was well over the legal alcohol limit for driving, police said of a case that was likely to stoke resentment over the US military presence on the southern island of Okinawa.

In response to Sunday's fatal accident, US forces in Japan banned, until further notice, all personnel in the country, both on and off base, from drinking of alcohol, the US Forces in Japan said.

In Okinawa, personnel are also restricted to base or to their residences.
