A pre-dawn crash outside a police station in Hualien, Taiwan turned into a drug-driving case, a bad outcome for the 42-year-old driver now facing charges.

• A black sedan slammed into a police car parked outside the Ji'an police station in Hualien at about 3am.
• The impact was strong enough to knock the police car out of its parking space and wreck the front of the sedan.
• The driver broke her right leg and injured her tongue, and was taken to hospital; a breath test showed no alcohol.
• Officers searching her car found a glass pipe used to smoke meth and bags with suspected drug residue.
• Security footage showed she never slowed down before veering into the parked police car.

Outlook: She faces a urine drug test and charges under Taiwan's drug control and public endangerment laws.
