TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — After images of a Suzuki which rear-ended into a
Maserati, Ferrari and Nissan surfaced on social media, Taiwanese netizens took pity on the hapless owner of the budget car as he will likely be stuck with an astronomical repair bill.
At 6 p.m., Sunday (Feb. 25) evening, a user of the Facebook group Taiwan News Reporter’s Union Information Platform (台灣新聞記者聯盟資訊平台), surnamed Lin, posted images of a five car pileup at the 214.3 kilometer mark of Freeway No. 3. At 2:50 p.m., a white Suzuki driver is suspected of having rear-ended a Maserati, causing it to collide with a Ferrari, which in turn smashed into a Nissan.
A preliminary investigation by the police found that the owner of the Suzuki was at fault, and thus he must not only foot the bill to repair his own car and the Nissan, but he must also compensate the the owners of the Maserati and Ferrari for the cost of the repairs to their super costly cars. However, the owner of the Suzuki is only 20 years of age, drawing sympathy from many Taiwanese netizens. [FULL STORY]
