Two people died and five others were injured in a four-car pile-up on a highway in Taiwan on July 15.

Two siblings, surnamed Hong, were trapped inside the vehicle in which they were travelling. They were rushed to hospital but succumbed to their injuries.

The girlfriend of one of them, surnamed Yu, was also in the car.

She recalled the heartbreak of seeing her boyfriend, his sister, and another friend trapped in the mangled wreckage.

Despite suffering injuries to her leg, she tried her best to rescue them but could not. Yu could only pull a friend from the back seat and then rescued two passengers from another car involved in the accident.
