A three-vehicle crash on the northbound stretch of National Highway 1 near the Xizhi weigh station injured two people, though both are expected to be fine.

• Two cars and a small truck collided in a chain-reaction crash on Wednesday morning.
• Emergency callers reported a four-car pileup with people trapped, so New Taipei fire crews sent ambulances and heavy rescue gear.
• Responders found a smaller scene than reported: three vehicles, two injured, both conscious and out of danger.
• Both were bandaged at the scene and taken to hospital.
• Wreckage blocked lanes while highway police gathered evidence.

Outlook: Highway police are still investigating what caused the crash and who is at fault.
