被喻为台湾音乐才女、台湾人气偶歌手周渝民(仔仔)前度女友的许玮伦，日前在台中不幸遇上严重车祸，重伤昏迷，延至28日八时终告不治，享年28。台中院方表示，许玮伦脑水肿严重休克，28日17:09时心跳停止，经过两小时急救，晚间19:37与世长辞，遗体亦于28日晚运返台北。
早在本月26日的深夜时份，许玮伦由女助手驾驶Mini Cooper途经高速公路时，怀疑车辆失控撞栏后弹出外车道，再遭尾随货车撞上，大量失血的许玮伦送往台中澄清医院，经12小时抢救，输血超过10,000cc，延至28日晚八时终告不治。
澄清医院发言人吴建基表示许玮伦脑干水肿没有消退造成脑压升高，陷入重度昏迷，她的父母担忧焦急彻夜守在病床前，许妈妈愿折寿30年给宝贝女儿，许父不惜花上10小时以上车程，南下到屏东一间颇为灵验的宫庙祈福，并扬言用今世、后世的修为作补偿，同时托讬好友以许玮伦之名做善事积福，只为爱女平安，可惜最后许玮伦终告不治。而担任许玮伦女助手，及在意外发生时负责驾车的林怡妏，在医护人员全力治疗下，在28日上午终于清醒，林怡妏情绪大受刺激，一直未能让警方录口供。据知，只有轻微脑震荡的林怡妏醒后一直语无伦次，又乱说车子是许玮伦开的。林志玲今午出席某活动，对于许玮伦的事，大感痛心。
