Recently, there have been two accidents on the level crossing around the Fangliao Station of the Taiwan Railways, where foreign objects invaded and caused the route to be interrupted. When a Xinziqiang train passed through the Jiadong Xialiao Road level crossing at around 2 pm today, an elderly man collided with the train within the level crossing and was sent to the hospital in critical condition. Railway police are currently investigating the cause of the incident.

An accident occurred at the Jinrong Road level crossing south of Fangliao Station this afternoon on October 25. At that time, a 71-year-old man surnamed Lin actually drove his vehicle onto the railway and got stuck, causing the entire southern loop to be interrupted and delayed for about an hour.

Unexpectedly, today, another foreign object intrusion accident occurred on the Laijia Village level crossing from Fangliao Station to Jiadong. An elderly man was in the level crossing when the 410 New Ziqiang train was passing by.
