On October 1, 2021, a building collapsed which barely missed a man on his moped.

The accident occurred in Hualien City, across the street from the Yunmen Cuidi building. There, was a hotel, the Manbo Hotel, which was ready for a demolition. But, due to an error, the building collapsed prematurely, and toppled onto its side, smashing the road.

While this occurred, a man on his moped was riding just underneath. He managed to escape in time, and suffered no injury. In fact, no casualties were reported, although several cars were destroyed.

a man from the construction site, surnamed Zheng, said that two supporting columns for the building crumbled, which is why the building toppled towards the road.

Two dashcam videos of the accident surfaced online, and many photos of the aftermath are present as well.

An official stated that in accordance with Article 193 of the Criminal Law, the Criminal Procedure for Public Dangerous Crimes stipulates that contractors or supervisors shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of no less than 3 years, and with criminal detention, no more than 9 years.
