Car crashes into wall in Penghu during heavy rain, two injured
Heavy rain in Penghu likely caused a car crash that hurt two women, though neither is in danger.
- A car hit a wall on the Wukan-to-Suogang road in Magong during nonstop rain.
- Three people were in the car; the male driver was unhurt, but two women were injured.
- One woman in her 80s was trapped inside and had to be cut free by firefighters, complaining of back pain.
- A woman around 70 had scrapes on her arms and legs; both were taken to the hospital in Penghu.
- Wet roads and poor visibility from a southwest airflow storm system are the suspected cause.
Outlook: Local police are investigating, and more rain from the same weather system means slippery roads on the islands for now.
