In Kaohsiung's Gangshan district, a female rider collided with an oncoming turning motorcycle while trying to avoid an illegally parked vehicle. The parked truck drove away, prompting the rider to question if it was a hit-and-run. However, police clarified that as the truck was not in motion during the accident and did not directly collide with the rider, it does not classify as a hit-and-run but is still liable for the incident. Police have fined the truck driver. The incident sparked discussions on who bears responsibility, with some arguing that the illegally parked truck should share blame, as the accident occurred on an unmarked two-way road. Despite the truck driver not being charged with hit-and-run, the illegal parking contributed to the incident, raising questions about liability moving forward.
