Car flips onto roof after skidding on wet road on Taiwan's northern coast highway

Aug 24, 2026

A driver walked away with minor injuries after his car spun out on a rain-slicked curve near Keelung and landed upside down in the middle of the road.

  • A 27-year-old man lost control on a bend of the northern coastal highway near the Anzhong Bridge on Monday morning.
  • Wet roads and too much speed sent the car into the guardrail, and the impact flipped it over onto its roof across the roadway.
  • He climbed out on his own with scrapes on his hands and neck; alcohol and drug tests both came back clean.
  • Police say he was driving from Keelung toward Wanli and was not familiar with the road.
  • The wreck was towed away within the hour, and he will settle damage costs with the authorities directly.

Outlook: Police are urging drivers to slow down well before curves in the rain and avoid sudden braking or sharp turns.
