works pierced through the window of a tour bus in Keelung Saturday afternoon, the Central News Agency reported.
The tourist was part of an 18-member group on a day trip to Jiufen, a popular scenic destination up in the mountains above Keelung, and Sanxia, a riverside district in New Taipei City.
The bus was trying to pass as half the road was occupied by machinery and workers in the process of reinforcing a slope against landslides, police said.
However, the space was too narrow and a metal spike used in the project pierced a window on the right side of the bus, hitting a 60-year-old Japanese man in the right shoulder. [FULL STORY]
