The 61-year-old worker, surnamed Luo, was struck in the head and later confirmed deceased. The 45-year-old male driver, surnamed Tsai, was arrested for dangerous driving leading to death.

At the time of the incident, a tipper truck was leaving the construction site, with a passing female worker spray cleaning the wheels with a hose.
