Dad seeks $2m for son

AFTER a traffic accident here left his son wheelchair-bound, Japanese executive Hiroyasu Kuroki took him home and spent some $479,000 rebuilding their house to accommodate the teen's disability.

The two-storey house in Kanagawa prefecture, about two hours from Tokyo by train, was torn down and rebuilt to give Mr Kuroki's disabled son mobility at home.

Measures included installing a lift to replace the staircase, and bigger toilets and shower facilities because he needed more space to move around.
