Two vehicles collided with each other in Luzhou, New Taipei, knocking down four motorcycles on the side of the road, injuring two

A series of car accidents were reported in Luzhou, New Taipei City. At about 7 a.m., a 63-year-old man surnamed Wang was driving a car. When he was going to turn left on Jixian Road and was about to turn left into an alley, he accidentally collided violently with a small truck going straight in the opposite direction. After the collision, the two vehicles lost control and deviated. They swept away four motorcycles that were waiting at the red light like a bowling ball on the spot. Two women were injured and sent to the hospital.

The police arrived after receiving the report. Several motorcycles were overturned at the scene, with parts and debris scattered on the ground. Among them, the 47-year-old female rider surnamed Li and the 65-year-old female passenger surnamed Chen suffered multiple minor scratches and contusions on their bodies due to the car accident. They were bandaged by ambulance personnel and rushed to Taipei Shin Kong Hospital for treatment. Fortunately, their lives were not in danger after treatment.

Officers from Jixian Police Station and Traffic Division of Luzhou Police Station were reported to the scene for traffic control, collecting evidence, and mapping. The police stated that whether the driver of the two cars was drunk or drug-driving still needs further sampling and testing. The detailed cause of the accident and the attribution of responsibility still need to be clarified by follow-up investigation.
