TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A tour bus carrying 26 students and one teacher from
National Cishan Agricultural & Industrial Vocational Senior High School in Kaohsiung smashed into a low clearance in Taoyuan’s Luzhou District yesterday evening, injuring five, reported Liberty Times.
The students were just wrapping up the second day of a three-day, two-night graduation tour of northern Taiwan and were heading to their lodging for the night when the bus collided with a height clearance bar for a bridge, smashing windows, ripping part of the bus’s frame, injuring five, and dragging the heavy steel bar as it plowed through.
Among those injured was an 18-year-old male student surnamed Yang (楊) who suffered a 5 centimeter laceration to his forehead and several broken teeth, but he did not lose consciousness and has no life-threatening injuries, but was sent to the hospital for further medical treatment. [FULL STORY]
