A Singaporean, who is believed to be in his 30s or 40s, was reportedly killed in a car accident in Taiwan last night (1 November).

According to Taiwan media, the man, who is a flight attendant for United Airlines (UA), had arrived in Taiwan yesterday. He was reportedly on leave and wasn’t on a work trip.

It’s unknown if he had travelled alone or was with anyone else.

Crossing a Road Not Meant for Pedestrians

The Singaporean was hit while crossing the Dunhua South Road in Taipei’s Da’an District at 9pm, a road that is not mean for pedestrians.

A white Porsche SUV had struck him at high speed, so much so that the bonnet of the car was severely dented.

The victim was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries an hour later.

The driver is a 52-year-old man, and he’s being investigated for offences against public safety and negligent homicide.

He had allegedly told the police that he had consumed a few glasses of red wine while having dinner with friends that night, and believed he was sober while driving home.

However, a breathalyser test showed that his blood alcohol level was at 0.58mg/l., which exceeds the legal limit of 0.15mg/l in Taiwan.

He claimed that the victim had suddenly “darted” in front of his car, and also blamed the accident on the dark and rainy road conditions as he wasn’t “driving fast”.
