  "account": "A 67-year-old Singaporean grandmother passed away in a Taiwanese hospital two days after she was struck and run over by a bus while on holiday, according to Focus Taiwan, which reported on September 18. The woman, who was traveling with her nine-member family including her daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter, suffered severe injuries in the incident. The Taiwan-based China Medical University Hospital team made all efforts to save her, but ultimately, her condition was deemed too grave for recovery. The hospital issued a statement regretting her death. The tragic accident occurred on September 16 when a bus making a right turn collided with the woman as she was crossing a road in Taichung. She sustained a hip fracture, fractures in her upper right arm and lower left leg, and experienced cardiac arrest. Despite initial resuscitation efforts and the restoration of her heartbeat, she ultimately succumbed to her injuries. The bus driver, a 45-year-old man, was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident. Witnesses reported that the bus was traveling at a relatively slow speed, and the woman's injuries were consequently less severe.",
