Mrs. Lin's words were still ringing in everyone's ears when on the afternoon of 15 October, a military truck overturned on Matsu Island, killing one soldier and slightly injuring two. Although a military spokesperson confirmed that the incident was purely a traffic accident, the news nonetheless caused deep dismay.
林媽媽言猶在耳，十月十五日下午，馬祖又發生一件軍車翻覆事件，造成一名士兵死亡，二名輕傷，軍事發言人雖已證實該起意外為一單純的車禍事件，仍然令人深感遺憾。
