A driver in Pingtung County last night sped away after a minor collision with another vehicle, then ran a red light and crashed into two other cars, leaving 3 dead and 7 injured.
The 36 year-old female driver named Yang was not intoxicated at the time, but maintains that she doesn’t remember what happened.
