Major accidents were reported on Liberty Road, West District, Taichung City for two consecutive days! Following yesterday's accident in which a Singaporean woman was injured by a Guoguang bus at the Minsheng intersection, another safety accident occurred during bank exterior wall construction this afternoon at the Juren Street intersection, about 100 meters away. A 36-year-old worker named Quan was hit by bricks, construction waste and other heavy objects, and was buried in a pile of rubble about 1 to 2 meters deep. He had no breathing or heartbeat when he was rescued. He died of his injuries after being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
The industrial safety accident occurred at around 2 pm today at the Taichung branch of a bank at the intersection of Liberty Road and Juren Street. The site was undergoing exterior wall renovation work, with scaffolding and large green plastic garbage ducts erected around the exterior wall. At that time, Quan was working on the first floor. It was suspected that during the construction process above, a large number of construction bricks, reinforced concrete and other objects suddenly fell and instantly hit Quan below. He was buried under heavy objects on the spot.
After receiving the report, the Taichung City Fire Department immediately sent personnel to the rescue. When the firefighters arrived, Quan was trapped in a pile of rubble about 1 to 2 meters deep. They immediately worked with other workers at the scene to remove heavy objects and rescued him. After a lot of efforts, they finally rescued the man. However, Quan had lost his breathing and heartbeat and was unconscious. The rescuers immediately performed CPR and other first-aid treatments, and he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, but there was still no way to save him.
Coincidentally, the location of this fatal work safety accident is only about 100 meters away from the intersection of Ziye Road and Minsheng Road where Guoguang Bus hit and injured a Singaporean woman surnamed Chen yesterday.
