Taiwan: Security guard critically injured after running red light

A serious traffic accident in Taichung, Taiwan, left a 30-year-old female security guard critically injured early Saturday morning. The woman was riding her motorcycle home when she allegedly ran a red light at the intersection of Yongfeng Road and Yongfeng Road Lane 29. She collided violently with a small truck driven by a 24-year-old man. The impact sent the woman and her motorcycle skidding across the asphalt, creating a shower of sparks. She sustained severe head trauma and lost vital signs at the scene. Emergency responders arrived quickly and managed to revive her heartbeat before transporting her to the hospital. She is currently undergoing surgery for her serious injuries. The truck driver was unharmed and tested negative for alcohol and drugs. Authorities are awaiting blood test results to determine if the woman was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash. The incident occurred around 1:14 AM on July 18. Police are reviewing surveillance footage to reconstruct the accident. The woman, originally from southern Taiwan, lived alone in Taichung and worked as a security guard. Her family has been notified and is en route to the hospital. Police urged drivers to obey traffic signals, reduce speed at night, and avoid running red lights to prevent similar tragedies.
