Two separate traffic accidents involving motorcycles occurred in Hong Kong and Taipei.

In Hong Kong, a motorcycle collided with the rear of a seven-seater vehicle on Tsuen Wan Road near the Cable TV building around 11:00 PM on Saturday, October 24. Dashcam footage shows the motorcycle rider attempting to brake but failing to avoid the vehicle, which had slowed down. The impact caused the motorcycle to tilt, narrowly avoiding a secondary collision with a passing truck. No injuries were reported.

In Taipei, a car ran a red light at the intersection of Minsheng East Road and Zhongshan North Road around midnight on October 25. The collision caused a motorcyclist, identified as Mr. Wu, to be thrown from his vehicle. Mr. Wu sustained abrasions to his face and limbs and was hospitalized; his injuries are not life-threatening. The driver of the car fled the scene without stopping. Police have identified the vehicle via license plate and are summoning the owner for investigation.
