Zhongshan Gaobei passes through Wugu Interchange. A two-vehicle accident was reported this morning. Although it was eliminated within 8 minutes, it coincided with the rush hour, causing the speed of the rear traffic to drop sharply. In addition, the original Sanchong exit at the north end was blocked, resulting in a long time between Sanchong (27K) and Wugu Interchange (32K). The 5-kilometer section of the road on the highway network suddenly became purple, with the speed remaining only 18 kilometers per hour, causing anxious passers-by to rush. On the Sanchong section to Taipei, the speed was less than 30 kilometers. Both the National Highway and the Highway Bureau called on passers-by to pay attention to the situation in front of their cars and change routes as soon as possible.
The Highway Traffic Control Center and the National Highway Police Service Center received a report at 9:48 this morning that an accident involving two passenger cars occurred in the middle lane of the Wugu Interchange on Zhongshan Highway 29.8K.
