A 29-year-old police officer surnamed Lu from the Fuying Police Station of the Xinzhuang Police Station in New Taipei City was carrying out traffic accident handling and traffic diversion duties at No. 17, Section 3, Huanhan Road, Xinzhuang District at about 9 o'clock last night when he was hit by a 23-year-old man surnamed Ruan riding a motorcycle and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Mr. Lu was sent to the hospital for examination and only suffered bruises on his face and limbs, so he was not seriously injured. Mr. Ruan also left the hospital on his own after receiving medical treatment for injuries to his hands and feet. The alcohol test values ​​of both parties were 0. The exact cause of the accident still needs to be clarified by further police investigation.

The police pointed out that at the time, police officer surnamed Lu was implementing traffic control at the scene of the accident and was waiting for the traffic team to arrive at the scene to take over. When Ruan Nan was riding a motorcycle through the area, he was suspected of having poor vision in the rain at night and not paying attention to the situation in front of the vehicle. He accidentally directly collided with Officer Lu who was on duty, causing both of them to fall to the ground and get injured.

After the accident, Xinzhuang Police Division Chief Chen Baoxu attached great importance to it and immediately assigned Deputy Division Chief Lin Zhixue to the emergency room of Fuzhou University Hospital to care for and express condolences to the injured police officers, and told them to rest peacefully and recuperate. Ruan Nan was sent to Taipei Hospital of the Ministry of Health and Welfare for treatment. It was confirmed that his injuries were minor and he left the hospital on his own.

The Xinzhuang Police Station calls on drivers to slow down and be more vigilant when driving on rainy days, as road conditions and visibility are poor. When passing an accident scene or a controlled area, they should obey the instructions of the on-site police. Do not cause accidents due to temporary negligence, and jointly maintain the safety of on-duty personnel and passers-by.
