A concrete mixer's sudden lane change leads to a Tesla crashing into a median in Kaohsiung, resulting in minor injuries.

In Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, a road accident occurred on the 15th of the month, involving a Tesla SUV and a concrete mixer. The incident took place in the Nanzih District, where the concrete mixer abruptly veered into an adjacent lane.

As a result, the Tesla, unable to avoid the maneuver, collided with the median, leading to a rollover. The impact caused significant damage to the Tesla, including a shattered windshield and extensive damage to the front end. The driver of the Tesla, however, sustained only minor injuries.

The accident occurred around 1 PM. Emergency responders and local residents quickly assisted the driver of the Tesla, who was subsequently transported to a local hospital for treatment. The initial investigation revealed that the 22-year-old driver of the concrete mixer, identified as Liu, was traveling straight when the sudden lane change took place. The Tesla driver, Mr. Gao, aged 53, was unable to react in time, causing the collision.

The damage to the Tesla was extensive. Police administered breathalyzer tests to both drivers, and neither showed any signs of alcohol consumption. Authorities are conducting a thorough investigation to determine the exact cause of the accident and assign responsibility.
