On July 5, 2024, around noon, a truck carrying a large drilling rig was passing through Research Institute Road in Taipei's Nangang District. While making a right turn onto Section 1 of Nangang Road, the truck accidentally hooked and collided with the light cover on the traffic light pole, causing the pole to twist and deform. The driver, a 57-year-old named Luo, was found to have a blood alcohol level of 0, and he explained that he was transporting the drilling rig to a construction site in Taoyuan when he failed to make the turn properly, leading to the collision. Authorities have been informed for repairs and the progress on removing the damaged pole.
