In addition to criminal charges, police also issued traffic citations for drunk driving, hit-and-run, running a red light, and failing to stay in the proper lane. The violations carry combined fines that add up to NT$102,600, police said.
On Friday, the husband of the victim, surnamed Li, and their three children returned to the crash site to perform a traditional seventh-day spirit-calling ritual, which in Taiwanese mourning customs marks the first week after a death. Witnesses said the children called out for their mother to come home while kneeling beside her memorial tablet.
