Car accident and death
Hsu was involved in a fatal accident on the Taichung stretch of Taiwan's National Highway No. 1 at 23:15 on January 26, 2007 while travelling with her assistant to Nantou for the filming of Tai Yang De Nu Er. Her Mini Cooper driven by her assistant collided with the barrier/guardrail on the highway and spun out to the other side (slow lane) of the highway and came to a halt. According to passers-by, the Mini Cooper was travelling at around 120-130km/h.
Having come to a halt, and thinking that it was safe, Hsu unbuckled her seat belt before the Mini Cooper's rear-end was hit by a truck. When the collision occurred, only the passenger side's airbag was deployed. The front airbag failed to deploy (airbags are not designed to deploy in rear impact collision). Contrary to witness' testimony, her assistant denied being the driver at the time of the accident.
Despite 43 hours of emergency treatment, her heartbeat stopped at 17:09 and she passed away on January 28, 2007 at 19:37 local time, leaving behind her father, mother and a younger brother.
