SUV Crashes Through Convenience Store Window in Yilan's Wujie Township; Police Searching for Hit-and-Run Driver

(Central News Agency, Reporter Wang Chao-yu, Yilan, 18th) An SUV, traveling along Section 2 of Zhongzheng Road in Wujie Township, Yilan County, crashed into the glass window of a convenience store on the roadside while making a left turn onto Xiangshang Road around 6 a.m. today. After the accident, the driver did not report to the police as required and drove away. Police have identified the target and will summon them for questioning. After reviewing surrounding surveillance footage, police found that the SUV failed to correct its direction in time after making a left turn at the intersection, losing control and crashing into the side glass window of the convenience store at the corner. The immense impact shattered the store's glass window completely, severely deforming the window frame, and scattering debris. Car parts also fell by the roadside. When officers arrived on the scene, a yellow sign saying "Caution: Slippery Floor" had been temporarily placed as a warning. Fortunately, no one was injured. The driver failed to report to the police as required after the accident and drove away. Police have confirmed the vehicle involved and identified a specific individual. The owner and driver will be summoned for questioning later, and a ticket will be issued according to the law. The detailed cause of the accident is pending police investigation. The Luodong Police Precinct urges that in the event of a traffic accident, regardless of whether there are casualties, it should be immediately reported to the police, and all parties should remain at the scene awaiting police arrival to clarify responsibility and protect the rights of both parties. Do not leave the scene out of侥幸 (false hope of getting away with it) to avoid facing relevant penalties. (Editor: Kuan Chung-wei) 1150518
