The High Court yesterday ordered the Taipei City Government to pay NT$9.27 million (US$318,710) in compensation to a marathon participant who sustained head injuries after a water pump fell on him from a bridge during an event in 2017.
The High Court cited negligence by road repair crews for the incident. It was the second ruling in the case and can be appealed.

Chen was taking part in the Standard Chartered Taipei
