A woman in Yilan put her 3-year-old niece in immense danger, driving off while the toddler was still getting in the car. She had gone into a convenience store with her daughter and the niece. The two kids were successively getting into the back seats. After her daughter got in the car, she drove off with the rear door still open. The little girl still tried to get in when her aunt went off without her, but it was not possible for her little legs to catch up with the car, so she soon rolled out onto the road. Fortunately, an eyewitness helped her up immediately after she fell, lifting her out of danger.

A sedan parked on the roadside had one rear door open. Two little kids were getting into the car, but only the first got in safely. The latter, a younger girl, hadn’t even put a foot in when the driver speeded off with the door still open.

The toddler tried to catch up, her legs frantically moving. Soon, she rolled off and fell onto the road. An eyewitness standing under the arcade helped her up immediately.

More shockingly, the driver didn’t even notice that the kid hadn’t gotten in yet.

It’s ridiculous. The parent didn’t do their job. It’s common sense that one should wait for kids to get in and close the door properly before driving off.

It’s so scary! The kid could’ve got run over.

The frightening scene was captured at Yilan’s Luodong Township. The driver had her daughter and 3-year-old niece with her, and was about to leave after picking up a package from a convenience store. She thought both kids were safely seated when only her daughter was, and drove off without the 3-year-old.

Women and Children Police
Causing injury to a child without intent is fineable between NT$60,000 to NT$600,000 according to law.

The police later found that the driver had violated several other traffic rules, including parking on a red line and making a U-turn around double yellow lines, and she could be fined up to NT$23,400 in total. Fortunately, the toddler wasn’t hurt. Otherwise, no amount of money could alleviate her of the guilt.
