One Killed in Drag Racing Accident 處理死亡車禍 警遭攻擊反制1人中彈

One person has died in a drag racing accident early this morning in the streets of Taipei. Two of the people involved tried to assault police when they arrived on the scene and one of them was shot twice in the leg. Seven people were taken in for questioning.

When police arrive on the scene, the white car, which originally had its hazard lights on, suddenly accelerates to flee. Two men, both reeking of alcohol, get out of their cars yelling. The police fire warning shots, but to no avail. Next, one officer fires two shots into the leg of one of the men. The man starts screaming as he is subdued. Then, something else happens. A mob that has gathered turns on the media. Disregarding the police, the mob pins reporters against the wall.  

Local Business Owner: “There were a lot of police around this morning.”

The incident occurred at 4 a.m. on the 14th. According to police, two groups that had been drinking together at a bar decided it'd be fun to drag race. When they got to the underground tunnel on Zhongxiao West Road, one of the cars hit the car in front of it. The driver of the car that was hit died, and the passengers sustained minor injuries. The driver of the car that hit the car in front of it tried to flee when the police arrived.

Chen Ming-chih, Zhongzheng First Precinct Chief: “He will be charged with injury, major hazard in a traffic accident, attempted murder, and obstruction.”

Seven people were taken in for questioning. The man who was shot in the leg was taken to the hospital. Many of the people involved were underage and members of the Bamboo Union. According to police, the drivers of all three vehicles involved had been drinking but it is not yet known whether their blood alcohol was over the limit.

接獲車禍案件，警力火速抵達，原本白色轎車打著警示燈，突然加速開走。在場兩名男子散發濃濃酒味，下車後不斷叫囂，警方鳴槍喝斥無效，朝其中一人左大腿連開兩槍。男子中槍後一直哀號，正當警方在壓制鬧事份子，又發生案外案。現場竄出一群人，朝記者大聲咆哮。縱使警方在場，仍舊用力把人推往牆面撞擊。

附近店家表示：「早上很多警察來這裡。」

14日凌晨4時許，警方調查，兩群人在東區夜店喝酒認識，分別開車在台北市競速，一路飆到忠孝西路地下道。其中一台車跟前車發生撞擊，導致對方駕駛失去呼吸心跳，車上乘客受到輕傷；另一部車見警方到場，立即逃逸。

台北市中正一分局分局長陳明志表示：「我們將會依傷害交通事故的重大危害，以及殺人未遂，以及這個妨害公務等等的罪嫌，依法送辦。」

鬧事份子狼狽落網，警方一共帶回7人偵訊，1人腿部中彈正在醫院治療，當中有多名未成年以及竹聯幫成員。初步了解，3台車所有人都有喝酒，但是否涉及酒駕，部分有待警方後續抽血檢驗。
