Roadside alcohol testing is to be expanded after collisions yesterday in New Taipei City and Miaoli County saw one person killed and five injured, the latest in a spate of serious accidents this week, police said.
A two-vehicle collision occurred in the early morning at the 50.5km mark on the southbound lane of the Formosa Freeway (National Freeway No. 3), near the exit for New Taipei City’s Yingge (鶯歌) and Sansia (三峽) districts, police said.
A car driven by a woman surnamed Lo (羅), 46, allegedly rammed into the back of a minivan driven by a man surnamed Chen (陳), 55, which was carrying four passengers: his elderly parents and other family members.
The minivan rolled over, injuring the occupants, who were rushed to a local hospital by city and National Highway Police Bureau ambulances. [FULL STORY]
