A man surnamed Yan who lives in Taitung, his wife, daughter and two grandchildren took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday to drive north for a trip.

The front left front of the silver car that was hit was severely deformed and the windshield was completely shattered. An ambulance rushed a total of 6 injured people in the two cars to the hospital.

Among them, a woman surnamed Lin, a mother of two children, was the most seriously injured. Due to the violent impact of the car accident, she was ejected from the back seat and hit the windshield.

According to an investigation by the Yuli Police Station, the driver of the silver car that caused the accident, a 45-year-old man named Xu, was driving south along Provincial Highway 9 this morning. When passing through the 295.5K Luoshan Village section of Fuli Township on Provincial Highway 9, he was suspected of crossing into the opposite lane to overtake and collided with the car heading north in the opposite direction at high speed. Both drivers' sobriety tests were 0. Since there were no monitors or driving recorders at the scene, the cause of the accident still needs to be clarified.
