Strong winds knocked down people and scattered debris as a massive typhoon crossed over Taiwan on Tuesday, killing at least four people and injuring more than 260, officials said. The 268 injuries included eight Japanese tourists traveling in a tour bus that turned on its side in central Taiwan. Three people suffered fatal falls and a fourth person died in a truck crash, said Lee Wei-sen, a spokesman for Taiwan's Central Emergency Operations Center. More than 2.9 million households lost power, though 976,000 had been restored by late evening, according to Taiwan's Central News Agency. Megi is the fourth typhoon of the year to hit Taiwan.
