A man surnamed Qiu was driving a gravel truck in Daxi, Taoyuan. He was suspected of being mentally disturbed. The truck first lost control and drove onto the central separation island, smashing into a signal pole, and then crashed into a used car dealership on the roadside.

A thrilling car accident occurred on Jieshou Road in Daxi District, Taoyuan City today (11th) at about 2:56 pm. A 45-year-old man surnamed Qiu was driving a gravel truck (commercial cargo tractor) on this road section. He was suspected of being mentally depressed and dozing off.

After the Daxi Police Station and Fire Department ambulances arrived at the scene, the driver surnamed Qiu was conscious and had no obvious trauma. After evaluation by the ambulance staff, he refused to be sent to the hospital. The police conducted a sobriety test on site, and the test value was 0, and the rapid drug screen was negative. The police have reviewed relevant surveillance images, notified the responsible units to deal with the damaged facilities, and coordinated towing trucks and cleaning teams to remove obstacles on site.

The innocent owner of a used car dealership surnamed Jian said that he was sitting in his office at the moment of the incident when he suddenly heard the sound of brakes coming from outside the house. The next second there was a loud "bang" and a gravel truck rushed in.
