  "account": "A 67-year-old Singaporean woman was struck by a bus and became trapped underneath it while on holiday in Taiwan. The incident occurred on September 16th while she was crossing the road in Taichung with her family. Social media images depict the woman lying face down under the bus near its front left tire. Emergency responders attended to her. Local authorities stated that she sustained serious injuries including a pelvic fracture, open fractures to her right upper arm and left lower limb, and was experiencing cardiac arrest. Despite these injuries, her vital signs were revived during transport to China Medical University Hospital, where she is currently receiving treatment. The woman was accompanied by her family of nine, comprising her daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter. The bus driver, a 45-year-old man, tested negative for alcohol and drugs. He had been driving for slightly over five hours at the time of the accident. According to The Straits Times, the driver had completed all required checks before making the turn. He only realized he had hit the woman after hearing screams from the surrounding crowd. A witness told local media that the bus was moving at a slow pace.",
