Unlicensed, Drunk Driver with Child on Motorcycle Leads Police on Chase, Crashes

A chaotic pursuit unfolded in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, when a 26-year-old man, identified as Yen, led police on a chase while operating a motorcycle with a 3-year-old child and another passenger aboard. The incident began around 7:30 p.m. on Sunday when Yen ran a red light at the intersection of Sanduo 4th Road and Xinguang Road in the Lingya District.

When patrol officers attempted to pull him over, Yen refused to stop, initiating a pursuit. The chase ended when Yen crashed his motorcycle into another vehicle, subsequently falling to the ground. Officers quickly apprehended him. The other motorcyclist sustained minor abrasions, and the driver of the car involved was unharmed.

Upon apprehension, Yen admitted to fleeing because he was unlicensed. A breathalyzer test revealed a blood alcohol content of 0.41 mg/L, significantly exceeding the legal limit. He faces charges including drunk driving, reckless endangerment of a child, and multiple traffic violations. Police are processing his arrest and forwarding the case to the Kaohsiung District Prosecutors Office.
