For full details, check out the following video news report from our partners at TomoNews, your daily source for top animated news.
A 17-year-old man surnamed Lin, riding without a license or helmet, made a blind turn and got hit by a car approaching from the opposite direction. He landed in an inflatable paddling swimming pool at the road side, which saved his life. Lin was fined more than US$200 for riding without a helmet or license, and for making an illegal turn. The car driver also received a penalty for driving without due care and attention.
