Typhoon Megi has brought extremely strong winds of over force 17 in Taichung, which caused the scaffolding falling off from a high-rise that is still under construction. This accident led to two injuries, and investigation is still underway. As you can see from the video, due to the strong winds, the scaffolding fell off a Taichung high-rise building, hitting a car passing by. One of the female passengers is in critical condition, and still in the hospital. Meanwhile, a billboard was blown apart near a interchange in Taichung, cranes were then dispatched to stop it from falling onto the ground. TRANSLATED BY：STELLA TU 中颱梅姬襲台，昨天中午台中出現17級的最大陣風，正在改建的金沙大樓，頂樓22樓的鷹架，被強風吹倒，大量的鷹架砸落地面，造成兩人受傷送醫，台中市府也緊急封閉周邊道路，業者是否有疏失，市府已經著手調查。 畫面上可以看到這棟大樓頂樓的鷹架,不堪梅姬颱風的強風吹襲，下午一點突然倒塌，當時目擊的民眾都被這一幕嚇到，一輛剛好路過的轎車，直接被砸中。車上一名女乘客傷勢較重，因顱內出血目前仍在醫院救治當中.強風除了吹垮大樓鷹架，中港路交流道附近這座大型廣告T霸也被吹斷，廠商趕緊找來吊車吊住大型框架，避免掉到地面造成危害。 記者 邱植培 彭煥群 台中報導
