Junior high baseball coach makes miracle recovery after bus crash
Junior high baseball coach makes miracle recovery after bus crash
2025-09-15
The coach of a junior high baseball team is making a miracle recovery after a shocking traffic crash last month. 33-year-old Hsu Chi-jen had been driving a mini bus back from a match, when the vehicle crashed on the highway. He and the seven young baseball players on the bus were left with injuries, some of them severe. In Hsu’s case he suffered extensive skull fractures that would’ve usually left survivors in a coma or bedridden. But now’ he’s able to stand up and even walk in what has been dubbed a miraculous recovery.
Propped on a cane and with some help, he inches his way forward. He’s Hsu Chi-jen, who was involved in a serious accident last month with a student baseball team.
On Aug. 15, the 33-year-old coach was driving a minibus back from a game with seven baseball players from Min Ho Junior High’s Cihui campus, when the bus collided against a crash truck, injuring everyone. Hsu suffered a skull fracture and was rushed to hospital in critical condition. Doctors performed to craniotomy surgeries to save him.

Extensive skull fractures like his are quite rare. We did everything we could to reconstruct his shattered skull, control his intracranial pressure, and remove the brain hemorrhage. Then, we used 3D printing technology to reconstruct his skull.
Patients with similar injuries are often left in a coma or permanently bedridden. But Coach Hsu was very lucky. One month on, he’s miraculously able to move around all by himself. His memory and speech hasn’t yet fully recovered, however, and at a recent press conference he sat silently listening to the conversation with his eyes closed.

He’s still speaks very slowly, and forgets people and events. There’s many things he doesn’t remember, and he can’t form a full sentence. It’s all short phrases. We’ve asked him about the crash, but he basically doesn’t remember anything.

Thankful to doctors
This has all been really painful for all of us. We are deeply grateful to the staff at Chi Mei Hospital.
As for the seven young baseball players: the one with the most severe injuries is currently at National Cheng Kung University Hospital, and was transferred from the ICU to a regular ward last week. Four other students have been discharged and are under care at home, and the last two are already back in school. Fortunately, everyone survived and those injured are gradually getting better.

嘉義民和國中棒球隊車禍 教練"頭部遭撞擊"現恢復良好
2025-09-15
上個月中旬，嘉義縣民和國中慈暉分校棒球隊車輛，在國道上追撞防撞車，導致開車的教練許几仁和七名棒球隊學生受傷，許教練頭部遭受嚴重撞擊，一度命危，所幸在佳里奇美醫院醫師的搶救之下，奇蹟式的救回一命，目前恢復狀況良好，但對車禍過程已經不記得了。至於其他受傷學生，也都在復原當中。
拄著拐扙，在家人的攙扶之下，慢慢的走路復健，他是嘉義縣民和國中棒球教練許几仁，一個月前，他才剛發生重大車禍。
上個月十五號，33歲許教練開著廂型車，載著慈暉分校棒球隊七名小球員到外地比賽，回程途中在國道上追撞防撞車，導致他和學生都受傷。許教練頭骨嚴重碎裂，緊急送到佳里奇美醫院搶救，一度命危，醫師經過兩次的開顱手術，成功將人救回。

“大面積的碎裂頭骨其實相當的少見，當下我們就是盡可能去把他的頭蓋骨，做一個破碎性的修補，然後盡量去控制他的腦壓，去做一個腦出血的移除。後來我們是用一個3D列印的方式，去重建他的頭蓋骨。”
醫師表示，一般像這樣的撞擊，就算救活也可能昏迷不醒，或是終身臥床，但許教練很幸運，一個月內就能恢復自主行動，可以說是奇蹟，不過，對於一些人事，以及說話功能，還沒完全回復，因此記者會上，他只是坐在一旁，閉著眼睛聆聽，沒有說話。

“目前說話的部分有比較遲緩，然後有些人跟有些事情都還是忘記了，還是想不起來，然後講話上就是沒辦法成句子，還是短短的這樣子，跟他問(車禍)其實是怎樣的，他其實忘記得都忘記得差不多啦。”

“這段時間，我們的心路歷程一定是很痛苦的，首先就是感謝奇美。”
至於其他七名受傷的小球員，校方表示，最嚴重的洪同學，轉院到成大，上周已經從加護病房轉到普通病房，另外四名學生已經出院，在家照顧中，兩名學生則回到學校上課。這場重大車禍，全員都生還，而且逐漸康復，也讓校方鬆了一口氣。
