  "account": "Three Singaporean tourists were injured in a head-on collision with a taxi in Hualien, Taiwan on November 7. The accident occurred when a car driven by an air force serviceman named Zhuang veered across the center line and collided directly with the taxi. Zhuang, his wife, and their child were traveling to Yilan, a region in the northeast of Taiwan. The taxi, carrying the three Singaporeans, suffered injuries ranging from abrasions to contusions, and their injuries were not life-threatening. The taxi driver's wife was ejected from the vehicle due to the windshield shattering, and in the aftermath, both vehicles were severely damaged. Zhuang's wife was thrown from the car while her husband's windshield had shattered upon impact. Preliminary investigations revealed that neither driver had consumed alcohol or drugs. It is suspected that Zhuang may have fallen asleep at the wheel due to fatigue. The three injured Singaporeans were passengers on the cruise ship Celebrity Millennium, which had docked at Hualien Port earlier that day. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been contacted for further details.",
