(Central News Agency reporter Guan Ruiping, Miaoli County, 11th) A private car driving at night on Gongyi Road in Zhunan Township, Miaoli, accidentally crashed into the central median, uprooting a lamppost and its base, which then fell onto the oncoming lane, affecting passing cars and motorcycles. Police stated that the driver's alcohol test result was zero, and fatigued driving is suspected to be the cause of the accident.
Miaoli County Fire Bureau stated today that at around 9:30 PM on the 10th, they received a report of a car accident on Gongyi Road in Zhunan Township. Rescue personnel arrived at the scene and found a car that had crashed into the median, causing a lamppost to collapse, affecting one motorcycle and one car. No one was trapped at the scene, and two injured individuals had abrasions on their hands and feet, but were conscious. Rescue personnel provided bandaging and hemostasis before sending them to Weigong Hospital for treatment.
Zhunan Police Precinct stated that after the accident, officers were immediately dispatched to the scene for handling. It was understood that a 33-year-old man surnamed Li was driving a private car northbound on Gongyi Road. When passing near No. 1638 Gongyi Road, he allegedly lost concentration and accidentally crashed into the central median, causing the accident.
At the time of the accident, Mr. Li's BMW directly hit the lamppost on the median. The lamppost, along with its concrete base, was uprooted and fell across the southbound lane. Mr. Li sustained minor abrasions, and the front of his car was severely dented and damaged. Subsequently, a 23-year-old motorcyclist surnamed Zhan and a 29-year-old private car driver surnamed Xie, who were driving southbound on Gongyi Road, accidentally collided with the fallen lamppost. Mr. Zhan sustained minor abrasions, and Mr. Xie's car rearview mirror was damaged.
Police stated that all personnel at the scene were fine. Alcohol concentration tests were conducted on the three drivers, and all results were 0. In addition, a preliminary inspection of Mr. Li's car did not reveal any controlled substances or illegal e-cigarettes. The exact cause and responsibility of the accident are still pending further investigation and clarification. (Editor: Chen Renhua) 1150511
