Iraqi husband witnesses berate driver for driving too fast

[Reporters Xu Guozhen, Cai Shuyuan, Ou Sumei, Su Jinfeng/Report from Taichung] Taiwan was ridiculed as a "pedestrian hell" by the international media CNN Travel a few days ago. In Taichung City, when a passenger bus was passing through an intersection late at night the day before yesterday, ordinary roads were used for buses only. A family of three walked on the crosswalk as they turned left at a high-speed intersection and slammed into a green light. This resulted in the tragic death of a 30-year-old mother surnamed Li and a one-year-old son who was sitting in a stroller.

The bus turned left at high speed and hit a family of three

The surviving 32-year-old Iraqi Taiwanese son-in-law surnamed Ji expressed extreme grief and indignation that the driver "drives very fast, super fast" and not only smashed the stroller to pieces, but also crushed his wife under the wheel. When talking about his son, he only said, "I didn't see you"; Li's father also said, "I bumped into three, and said that I couldn't see it, it's really bad."

After the accident, the driver surnamed Chen apologized to the family of the deceased and knelt down and said, "I'm sorry, I really didn't do it on purpose." Ji Nan turned his head and left, "I don't want to see him."

The bus that caused the accident was the last bus on the 280 route of Fengyuan Passenger Transport. There were two passengers on the bus at the time. Chen Nan denied that he was rushing to get off work.

The prosecution initially convicted the driver of causing the accident due to the blind spot of the A-pillar and neglecting to pay attention to the situation in front of the car.

The driver was charged 100,000 yuan of negligent death and released on bail

The three members of Ji Nan’s family had planned to go to McDonald’s for dinner at around 11 o’clock last night. They returned to the North District and crossed the road at the intersection of Xueshi Road and Yingcai Road next to the Hospital of China Medical University. Fifty-three-year-old Chen Nan from Yingcai Road ran into him.

Ji Nan said that the bus hit his hands and feet first, and then hit his wife and children. He stepped forward to pick up his son, the child died after a minute, and his wife also lost her breath about five minutes later.

The scene of the car accident was captured by the relevant driving recorder. The bus was cornering at a fast speed. After hitting a person, the bus did not slow down and slid forward for several meters before realizing the abnormality and stopping.
