A serious car accident recently occurred at Taiwan's Taoyuan International Airport, involving a Hong Kong female tourist who suffered severe injuries and fell into a coma, requiring urgent treatment in the intensive care unit.
The Hong Kong Immigration Department confirmed that it has received related assistance requests and immediately provided appropriate advice and feasible assistance according to the individual's family's wishes. The Department also stated that it will maintain close contact with the family, actively follow up on the incident, and provide all feasible assistance per the family's wishes.
According to Taiwanese media reports, the incident happened at 5 PM on Jan. 19, when a taxi lost control and crashed into a dividing stone wall while approaching a bend outside Taoyuan International Airport. A female passenger from Hong Kong, surnamed Law, was suspected not to be wearing a seatbelt and suffered severe head injuries, leading to her being sent to the hospital in a coma. After examination, she was found to have a brain hemorrhage and was admitted to the intensive care unit.
The taxi driver passed an alcohol test afterward; however, further investigation of the vehicle's dashcam revealed that the taxi had deviated from its lane several times on the highway, raising suspicions that the driver may have been fatigued, leading to the accident.
