國道3號南雲交流道聯絡道，假日有車隊發生自撞事故驚動警方。（民眾提供）
國道3號南投竹山鎮南雲交流道聯絡道，因道路筆直，去年底曾有車隊到此競速飆車，不料上週末也有車隊到此「巡禮」，甚至發生自撞車禍驚動警方，竹山警方強調，未來週末假日將啟動警力守望防飆，並研議增設測速照相桿反制，防止淪為飆仔新天地。
竹山警方指出，南雲交流道是後來新設的交流道，對外的聯絡道寬敞筆直，且沿途住戶較少，去年底曾吸引車隊到此競速，當時轄區員警都有到場守望攔檢取締，不料上週末又有車隊出現。
警方說，此次出現的車隊，疑似是參加國道3號南投服務區的車聚後，才南下到南雲聯絡道，當時陸續有車隊到此來回行駛「巡禮」，雖未見明顯飆車情事，但其中卻有車輛發生自撞分隔島事故，所幸沒有人員受傷，後續將會與國道警方保持聯繫，並於假日派員警守望防飆，此外，也會研議增設測速照相桿，防堵聚眾飆車。
