Man in Taipei Crashes into 5 Vehicles After Drinking; Blood Alcohol Level at 1.095 mg/L

Early on the 27th, a man surnamed Chen in Taipei City crashed his car into four parked cars and one scooter while driving home after a dinner with friends. Because he refused a breathalyzer test, police followed regulations to file a report and requested a blood test from the Taipei District Prosecutors Office. The blood test results, converted to breath alcohol concentration, reached 1.095 mg/L. The case has been referred to the Taipei District Prosecutors Office for investigation under the charge of public endangerment. The Wuxing Street Police Station of the Taipei City Police Department's Xinyi Precinct received the report around 1:00 AM. Initial investigations revealed that Chen was driving home after a gathering when the accident occurred. Although he smelled strongly of alcohol, he denied drinking and refused the test. Police urge the public not to drive after drinking and to use designated driver services or public transport to ensure safety.
