One car left six scooters on the ground, eight people injured and one person trapped under the vehicle in a chain crash in Hsinchu on Monday evening. The incident happened at rush hour, when the scooters were waiting at a red light. The car approached from behind, knocking them over to the ground. Seeing that a woman had ended trapped under the car, dozens of bystanders rushed to help and lift the car to free her.

Several scooters are waiting at a red light, when out of nowhere a white car rear-ends them one by one. The riders and scooters fall to the ground, but the car keeps moving forward, trapping underneath it the passenger riding on one of the scooters.

An ambulance quickly arrived at the scene.

The person was able to reply and was without life-threatening injuries. Nonetheless, the chain collision was a shocking sight.

Reported the crash
Crash, bang, wallop! I turned around and saw there was a person under the car, trapped under there. Everyone moved the scooters aside and got to work to freeing her. I called the police and an ambulance.

Scooters lie on the ground, and bits and pieces cover the road. The crash happened at rush hour around 7 on Monday evening in Hsinchu’s East District, at the intersection between Shipin Road and Xida Road. It’s thought the car driver may have been distracted, causing the vehicle to lurch forward and knock over six scooters. A total of 8 people were injured, including the woman who ended up under the car.

Dozens rushed over to help, forgetting to take off their helmets to set scooters and debris aside, and lifted up the car to free her.

Scooter rider
Hit in crash
I looked around to see where the noise was coming from and get out of the way, but the car just came crashing in.

Member of public
Helped the victims
I offered assistance to the victims. I told them to have a seat and asked if they’d like anything to stay warm or water or something. I consoled them how I could. Quite a bit of time had passed by the time the police and the traffic officers came.

The driver of the car tested negative for alcohol, and is facing quite a significant expense for compensation. An investigation is underway to find the cause of the crash.
