TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taoyuan police said on Tuesday (Jan. 31) they had imposed a NT$2,000 (US$33) fine on the pickup truck driver who did not yield to a woman crossing a street in Taoyuan City in November.

The incident was recorded in a video that went viral in Japan after the incident, CNA reported. Posted on YouTube, it shows the woman on a zebra crossing when a vehicle approaches and abruptly stops in front of her.

Shocked by the approaching vehicle, the woman turns back and staggers a few steps back to the roadside. Here, she finally loses balance and falls to the ground.

Taoyuan Police Department’s Taoyuan Precinct said that when the pickup truck driver, surnamed Lin (林), turned left from Heping Road onto Zhongzheng Road on Nov. 21 last year, the driver did not give way to the 72-year-old woman surnamed Lo (羅).
