A 22-year-old man surnamed Lee (李) caused a fatal highway accident yesterday morning that left three people dead and six injured, Miaoli County police said, adding that Lee was found not to have a driver’s license.
The incident sparked angry reactions, after local media reported that Lee had recently learned to drive and had not yet obtained a license, but already had traffic violations.
The casualties were a baby girl and two teenage friends who were on an outing with Lee.
The crash occurred at about 4am on the Sun Yat-sen Freeway (Freeway No. 1) as Lee drove a white sedan with five passengers back home after a late-night outing in Taichung.
