Delivery rider injured after collision with turning truck, bubble tea spills across road

A collision between a delivery rider and a turning truck in Hemei Township, Changhua County, resulted in injuries and a messy scene of spilled bubble tea across the road. The incident occurred on the 26th when an 18-year-old delivery rider, identified by the surname Su, was traveling straight on Hexian Road.

He collided with a small truck driven by a 71-year-old man, surnamed Wang, who was attempting to turn. The truck was starting from the roadside and preparing to turn from east to west, entering the lane when the collision happened. The impact caused significant damage to both vehicles: the left side of the truck was damaged, and the front of the motorcycle was damaged.

More dramatically, the collision sent the bubble tea drinks from the delivery box flying into the air, creating a widespread spill on the roadway. Fortunately, Su, the delivery rider, sustained an intracranial hemorrhage but has since regained consciousness and is receiving medical attention. Police have stated that both drivers had valid licenses and were not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The exact cause of the accident is under further investigation.

The incident highlights the risks faced by delivery riders navigating busy roads, especially when encountering vehicles making sudden turns. The visual of the spilled beverages serves as a stark reminder of the disruption and potential danger involved in such accidents.
