On the last day of the Dragon Boat Festival long weekend, a tragic accident occurred in Tainan where a 17-year-old female student riding a bicycle was fatally crushed by a cement truck. The incident took place in Yongkang District in the afternoon, with the student colliding with the truck as it was turning into a road, resulting in her being trapped beneath the truck. Despite emergency services rushing to the scene and attempting to save her, the girl succumbed to her injuries. Preliminary investigations suggest that the accident may have been caused by a blind spot, with the truck driver testing negative for alcohol. Police emphasize the need for caution and awareness at intersections to prevent such tragedies, urging drivers to slow down and check carefully when turning, while reminding cyclists and pedestrians to maintain safe distances from large vehicles to ensure safety.
