A huge Ficus tree at Dunhe Elementary School in Caotun Township, Nantou County suddenly collapsed at noon today (June 29). The massive tree trunk was uprooted and landed on a parked car, crushing it. Unfortunately, a female motorcyclist passing by was also trapped under the tree. When firefighters arrived, the motorcyclist showed no signs of life, but after receiving emergency treatment and being rushed to the hospital, she regained breath and heartbeat. However, due to lack of oxygen for 20-30 minutes, she remains in critical condition under hospital care. The collapsed Ficus tree also destroyed a surrounding wall and trapped the female motorcyclist.
