Employees at a gas station in Taichung were given quite the fright this morning when a taxi sped into the bathroom wall. The accident caused no human injuries, yet the taxi did run into four parked scooters. With drug-related driving accidents being in the news lately, both the driver and police clarified that the driver’s low blood sugar levels were the sole cause of the crash.

There was a customer who had parked over here and then went into the bathroom. His scooter got smashed. Our scooters, which we parked over here, were also wrecked.

Local police chief
Upon investigation, it has been determined that the male driver was feeling unwell and, therefore, accidentally pressed the accelerator, resulting in 4 scooters being damaged. The driver was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The accident happened a little after 7 a.m. Tuesday at a gas station on Dazhi Road in Taichung’s East District. Mr. Kuo, the 65-year old taxi driver, said his blood sugar level was low, and he accidentally pressed the gas pedal after fainting. Fortunately, the only harm caused was property damage, as no injuries were reported.
