Meanwhile, the New Taipei City government has taken emergency measures, such as offering counseling service in the affected schools and sending police officers to stand guard as new policies to better enforce road safety are being considered. Mourners gather with snacks, toys and flowers to commemorate the victims of a car crash that killed three people here yesterday after school. A parent picking up his kid plays a number on the saxophone in tribute. All the passers-by seem dejected. Witnessed car crash I am a father of two kids, so it was really upsetting to witness the event yesterday. Classmate of victim I never imagined that something so terrible would happen right around me. We didn’t do anything wrong, but it still happened all of a sudden anyway. Her classmate is one of the two teens killed yesterday. Chang Ming-wen New Taipei education department head Starting yesterday, the city government has launched a one-on-one counseling program. Starting this morning, we also dispatched all psychologists and social workers registered in the city to stand on duty in the two affected schools. A 40-year old woman was also killed by the crash. She was driving a scooter to Beida Elementary School to pick up her daughter, but didn’t survive the crash that happened while waiting a red light. Voice of Liu Wen-chang Beida Elementary School principal We weren’t sure if her mother had been affected, but we couldn’t reach her. So we decided to take the kid home. She said her mother is usually on time to pick her up. The kid had waited at the gate for more than ten minutes, unusual given her mother is usually on time. A teacher knew something was wrong, so the child was sent home. No one knew that her mother had been struck by the car. Voice of Liu Wen-chang Beida Elementary School principal The student kept waiting next to the guardhouse to be picked up, so she wouldn’t have known that her mother was implicated in the car crash, and so she didn’t show any signs of emotional distress. Only when it was past 9 p.m. did her father reach out to us. Meanwhile, the New Taipei City Police Department sent ten officers to stand guard around campus to enforce traffic safety. Chung Ming-shi New Taipei transportation department head Although we noted that all the relevant road signs and markings were present and functioning in our initial assessment, the question of whether to introduce a pedestrian priority zone remains imperative. In the meantime, the key still lies in drivers’ awareness of road safety so that nothing of the sort should happen ever again.
