The Shilin District Court on Wednesday found a truck transportation company owner and a repairman guilty of negligence causing death, after a cement mixer truck crash on Yangmingshan (陽明山) caused a 22-vehicle pileup, killing four people and injuring eight.
The court determined that the major cause of the crash was a brake failure, with the truck picking up speed on a downhill section of Yangde Boulevard (仰德大道), colliding with 13 cars and nine scooters and damaging four houses on the morning of July 19, 2017.
The truck driver, Ruan Ying-kuei (阮英貴), 44, was among the three men and one woman killed in the accident.
