The video footage shows that Liu Nan drove Xiao Huang, passing through Taiwan Avenue in Xitun District, Zhongshi City, and when he arrived at Dadun intersection, before the left turn light was on, he turned left quickly and drove a white Mazda cx3 towards Hou Nu. Going straight on Taiwan Avenue, they were unable to dodge and collided with each other. After the two vehicles collided, the taxi hit and flew on the spot. The process was quite horrifying.

Both Liu Nan and Hou Nv suffered bruises, but they were not life-threatening. The two were not driving under the influence of alcohol. The police preliminarily judged that the main cause of the accident was that Liu Nan violated the signal (turn left before the left turn light was on), and Hou Nv did not find the cause of the accident. The whole case was handed over to the Traffic Brigade of the Municipal Police Station to determine the exact cause of the accident.

The taxi was damaged in many places and the crash was quite bad.
