Taiwan Singer Shino Lin Involved in Fatal Car Crash

Taiwan Singer Shino Lin Involved in Fatal Car Crash
http://english.cri.cn/3086/2007/06/06/1221@235596.htm

From that article:

Shino Lin escaped the accident with no injuries. She has been taken to a police station for investigation and faces the charge of posing a public danger.

Does anyone know much about Taiwan's laws? Does "posing a public danger" cover possible drunken vehicular manslaughter like this? It sounds like a rather light charge, but again, I'm not familiar with their legal system.

Yeah, that sounded somewhat odd to me, too.
