Falling tree hits car at Keelung's Guanghua Tunnel
Heavy rain in Keelung knocked a large tree off a slope above a tunnel entrance and onto a passing car — bad for drivers in the area, but nobody was hurt.
- A tree came down on the slope above the Guanghua Tunnel exit on Tongming Street and smashed into a car pulling out.
- The driver braked in time; the windshield cracked but there were no injuries.
- Police closed the tunnel and rerouted traffic while crews worked to clear the tree.
- Weather forecasters had warned of heavy rain along Keelung and the north coast through the next morning.
- A local councilor said a nearby slope collapsed recently too, and that thick tree growth on unstable hillsides is a hazard in bad weather.
Outlook: With more rain expected, drivers are being told to avoid the area until the slope is cleared and checked.
