sidewalk in New Taipei’s Taishan District, he was suddenly run over by a semi-trailer truck and later succumbed to his injuries, reported UDN.
The Lee-Ming Institute of Technology student, surnamed Huang (黃), had collapsed on the sidewalk after a long night of drinking at 11 p.m. last night (Oct. 16). Meanwhile, as a parked semi truck revved up and started to leave, the 58-year-old driver, surnamed Wu (吳), noticed that he had run over something with his right front tire, which was in fact Huang’s abdomen.
A bit shocked but figuring it was a “rock” Wu backed the truck up again to get free of the object, thus crushing Huang’s body a second time. A student, surnamed Chiang (江), who was standing nearby, did not notice Huang and told the driver “it shouldn’t be anything.”
Wu then got out of the truck to investigate and saw Huang sprawled in front of his vehicle. He asked Huang “are you OK? Is their anything wrong?” but no matter how loud Wu shouted, Huang did not respond. To add to the confusion, Chiao told the driver “He’s drunk, it’s nothing.” [FULL STORY]
