An industrial safety accident was reported on Sanmin Road in Changhua City at around 2 pm yesterday (7th). A large 120-ton crane overturned just before it was ready to be hoisted. The trapped people have been rescued. It is suspected that it was caused by the soft foundation and subsidence. Changhua Mayor Lin Shixian and Wan'anli Mayor Gao Lin Xiuzhu both said that the place was just restored yesterday and no one was injured. God bless it! In the end, it took more than 8 hours and multiple cranes were dispatched to the scene to rescue, and the overturned crane was finally rescued!

After this industrial safety accident occurred, many cranes were dispatched to the scene to assist, but with no success. The police also came to the scene to conduct traffic control on Sanmin Road. Many people even came to watch, calling it "a car gathering in the crane industry." As of 2 p.m. to the evening, there was still no progress in the crane rescue operation.

Finally, a larger crane was dispatched to the scene, and the overturned crane was finally rescued at about 9 o'clock last night. The whole audience burst into cheers. Many people said that they were worried that they would not be able to be rescued at night. Traffic control will definitely cause traffic chaos when going to work and school tomorrow morning. Now they can finally feel at ease.

Gao Lin Xiuzhu said that there was a lot of traffic on Sanmin Road in Changhua City. Fortunately, no motorcycles or cars passed by when the crane overturned. It was really God’s help. Yesterday, the place happened to be in Pudu. Thanks to God’s blessing, no one was injured.

Lin Shixian pointed out that Sanmin Road in Changhua City is located in the Egg Yolk District, and cranes should comply with relevant regulations when performing lifting operations, including dispatching traffic controllers, and safety measures should be taken within the construction area.

When this industrial safety accident occurred, nearby people heard a loud noise and looked up to find that the crane had overturned. It was suspected that the building opposite the Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Company's Changhua Sales Office was performing lifting operations. It was suspected that the foundation at the sewage and sewer connection was soft and could not withstand the large crane.
