A recent accident occurred at the Yilan Green Expo Park involving a tourist train that overturned, resulting in the unfortunate death of a 78-year-old man surnamed You, while his wife was seriously injured and hospitalized. At the time of the incident, the electric tourist train failed to brake in time and crashed into the elderly couple. The family has accused the Yilan County Government of inadequate safety planning and demands that they take primary responsibility. The county government responded that they will assist in handling the aftermath and conduct equipment checks, stating that they will halt the operation of the electric tourist train service to ensure safety.

An accident occurred on the 4th at the Yilan Green Expo, where a small amusement train flipped over, resulting in the death of an elderly man with the surname You and serious injuries to his wife. It is understood that the 78-year-old couple from New Taipei City was struck by a small train driven by a driver with the surname Chen while visiting the Yilan Green Expo park. The man named You died on the spot, while his wife suffered multiple fractures throughout her body.

After questioning, the prosecution placed Chen under a bail of 60,000 yuan for the crime of negligent homicide. The family of the deceased stated today (the 5th) that the responsibility for the accident should fall on the Yilan County Government. The county government responded that they would not evade this matter and would fully assist the family in handling subsequent issues.

At the time of the accident, the amusement train struck the couple from behind, leading to the immediate death of the elderly man named You, while the woman with the surname Lu was hospitalized due to multiple fractures. The son of the elderly man mentioned that his daughter was fortunate to have jumped over a ditch in time to avoid the collision, but his parents, due to their old age, did not react quickly enough upon hearing the siren and were ultimately struck by the small train.

The family expressed confusion regarding why the driver chose to crash into a crowd instead of other facilities, questioning why there were no designated paths for vehicles and pedestrians within the park. Although the driver Chen has apologized to the family, they stated that they do not accept the apology, emphasizing that both the operator of the amusement electric vehicle and the Yilan County Government, as the organizer, should also bear appropriate responsibility, as they failed to oversee and plan properly.

To examine the safety of all equipment, the Green Expo park temporarily closed for a day today. The county government once again extended apologies to the deceased's family and the public, stating that they will cooperate with the prosecution's investigation and provide a complete explanation of the incident to the family, asserting that they will not shirk their relevant administrative responsibilities and will take appropriate responsibility. The county government indicated that at the time of the accident, the small train was suspected to have malfunctioned brakes, coupled with the fact that it was going down a gentle slope, leading to a loss of control as it crashed into the pedestrian walkway, which was not a normal transportation route. Furthermore, it emphasized that a clear separation of vehicle and pedestrian paths is planned in the regular transportation routes, with staff available to guide walking visitors.

In response to the family's concerns, the county government pointed out that even if the braking method of the electric vehicle was unavailable, there should still be other braking methods available for use. However, the operator of the amusement electric vehicle was unwilling to disclose specific usage methods when facing media inquiries.
