A container truck rolled over in the Madou section of China 1 south to Tainan, and 2 people were slightly injured and sent to hospital.

On National Highway 1 southbound to Madou Road in Tainan, an accident occurred at around 3 a.m. today (10th) when a coupling vehicle chased and collided with a commercial semi-contact vehicle. Two people were slightly injured and sent to the hospital. The semi-contact vehicle rolled over and occupied all lanes. The scene is still being processed, and vehicles behind the vehicle were blocked for about 2 kilometers.

The accident occurred at 3:46 a.m. this morning. When a 28-year-old man named Chen was driving a hybrid vehicle on the outside lane near the Tainan Madou Road interchange at 303.4 kilometers southbound on National Highway 1, he was suspected of not paying attention to the situation in front of the vehicle and chased a business semi-junction vehicle driven by a 49-year-old man surnamed Wang. As a result, Wang's vehicle rolled over in the inner, middle and outer lanes. Two people were slightly injured and sent to hospital for treatment.

As of 7 a.m., the lane was still closed for towing operations at the scene, and neither driver was drinking. The accident affected traffic on nearby road sections and caused traffic jams. Vehicles behind had to exit the Madou Interchange to get off the national highway, and then return to the national highway from the Madou Interchange entrance to avoid the accident point. As work hours approached, the traffic on site increased, causing a backlog.

The National Highway 4th Highway Police Brigade urges passers-by to pay attention to what is happening ahead and keep a safe distance when driving, so as to avoid being negligent or distracted and causing harm to themselves and other passers-by.
