driver in Kaohsiung suddenly and mercilessly ripped in half by the massive tires of heavy flatbed truck which plowed right over her, killing her instantly.
According a police investigation reported by Apple Daily, at 12:34 p.m. on Nov. 1, a man surnamed Chang (張),34, was driving his flatbed semi-trailer laden with lumber from Kaohsiung Ferry Terminal on Zhongzheng 1st Road bound for Kaohsiung’s Fengshan District, when the path of this vehicle overlapped with that of a female scooter driver surnamed Mei (梅), resulting in the catastrophic collision. The woman’s body was tossed around like a ragdoll and was torn in half, with her internal organs splattered on the pavement, all the while as the truck kept rolling.
Despite crushing both the woman and her scooter, the truck driver was somehow oblivious to the carnage until other drivers started frantically honking their horns to alert him of his egregious act. Police are charging him with criminal negligence.
