Zhongli driver hits row of parked cars after suspected drowsy driving

Aug 18, 2026

A late-night crash in Taoyuan's Zhongli district wrecked eight parked vehicles, but nobody was hurt.

  • A man driving a white Toyota drifted across the road just before midnight and plowed into a line of parked cars and scooters.
  • Two cars and six motorcycles were damaged; all of them were parked in marked bays at the time.
  • Police say fatigue is the likely cause — a breath test came back at zero alcohol.
  • Local police are urging drivers to rest before getting behind the wheel and to pull over somewhere safe when they feel drowsy.

Outlook: Police are still working out the exact cause and who is liable for the damage.
