Car crashes into highway barrier in heavy rain in Kaohsiung

Aug 19, 2026

A driver walked away unhurt after his car hit a guardrail on a wet highway in Kaohsiung — a bad crash with a good ending.

  • Heavy rain hit the Dashe district and the road turned slippery.
  • A car heading west on National Highway 10 lost control and slammed into the roadside barrier.
  • The impact shattered the windshield and side windows and badly crushed the roof.
  • The airbags saved the 37-year-old driver, who came out with no injuries.
  • He tested clean for alcohol, and the road was cleared within an hour.

Outlook: Police are still working out the exact cause and who is at fault.
