[Reporter Zhang Ruizhen/Taichung Report] Another collision accident happened when a pedestrian crossed the sidewalk (zebra crossing) in Taichung City!

A 71-year-old man surnamed Lin, after walking in Taichung Park today (1st), was hit by a blue van driven by a man (65 years old) with the same surname Lin when he was crossing Ziyu Road and the intersection of the park. The rear-view mirror on the right side of the old man’s mouth was hooked. The old man was like a fish caught in the bait. His mouth was hooked, and his whole body was “hanging” outside the truck. After he escaped from the trap, his face was torn and he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Dangerous, the police judged that the possible main cause of the accident was that the truck driver robbed the pedestrian crossing.

The traffic unit of the No. 1 branch of the Zhongshi Police Department pointed out that the old man surnamed Lin lived near the crime scene. He went for a walk in Taichung Park this morning and returned home at 11:00. He waited for the green light at the gate of the park. At the intersection with the park, when the truck turned left in the same direction as the old man, the left side slammed into the old man walking on the zebra crossing, and the rear-view mirror seemed to hook the old man's mouth. The old man was like a "pendulum" on the spot and was suspended , Swing left and right several times before getting out of trouble.

The driver of the truck, surnamed Lin, got out of the car quickly, and the ambulance arrived quickly. The old man who was bleeding profusely had a tear in his mouth.

The traffic team of the No. 1 Sub-bureau pointed out that the two parties did not drink alcohol. The possible main cause of the accident was Lin Nan, the truck driver, who did not give way to pedestrians and jumped over the pedestrian crossing. However, the detailed cause of the accident is still to be clarified and identified. Article 48 of the Regulations on Traffic Management Penalties states that "when a car driver makes a turn, except for prohibiting pedestrians from crossing the road section, he does not suspend to give priority to pedestrians", and a fine of 1,200 to 3,600 yuan can be imposed.

The ambulance took the old man (pictured) to the hospital. The old man's face was lacerated and his life was not in danger.
