A reckless drunk driver caused a dangerous scene driving his SUV with a burst tire on the freeway. The incident was caught on camera on National Freeway No.1 in Changhua on Thursday afternoon. The car could be seen swerving from side to side, as bits and pieces fell off the vehicle onto the highway. Despite the exploded tire, the car kept going forward and even drove into the city, where it almost fell into a rice paddy. Police apprehended the man, who was heavily intoxicated. Fortunately, nobody was hurt.

A G-Class SUV rolls on the freeway. But why is it tilting to the side? A tire on the right side has burst, but the car is still speeding on, swerving left to right. There’s even something stuck underneath getting torn to pieces from rubbing against the asphalt.

It’s such a sorry sight that even the cover on the spare tire at the back says goodbye. This video was posted online by a fellow road user, saying the SUV was falling apart on the road. Comments came pouring in, “Such an expensive car, yet they can’t afford a tow?”

Astounded
It’s crazy, really insane. If it’s reached that point, just stop. Don’t keep driving.

Tire shop owner
Replacing the tire and the frame would cost nearly NT$100,000 with original parts.

After shakily making its way off the freeway, the car rode into the city where it continued to wreak havoc. Security camera footage caught the vehicle braking abruptly to stop at a red light, and driving along a sharp bend that almost left it in a rice paddy. At that point, police arrived at the scene. The tires and sides of the car were in bad shape. The driver, 59-year-old Mr. Chiang, was reeking of alcohol.

Tsai Yao-ching
Police officer
We found the car in a vacant plot. He had a breath alcohol concentration exceeding 0.25mg per liter.

Mr. Chiang had a breath alcohol concentrate of 1.5mg per liter, meaning he was driving while extremely drunk. Fortunately, nobody was hurt, but Mr. Chiang has been transferred to the prosecutor’s office on charges of endangering public safety.
