Road crash

When I was going back home last night, I saw, at just one block from my apartment, the first example of a road accident that had happened a few minutes before. There was an ambulance on the other side of the street, its doors open, three or four policemen measuring the distances of the trajectories of the vehicles and, as I walked by, I could see a scooter driver sitting on the sidewalk and another one on a stretcher with the ambulance guys taking care of him, but he seemed to be moving. Everything looked like a crash between two scooters, but I could be wrong.

Before coming to Taiwan, I read in some guide that there were many road accidents here —I am not at all surprised—, but apart from all kind of bumps and dents on the frames of cars and scooters, and many almost-absurd evasive maneuvers in the general driving, I had not yet seen a scene like that. In the long run, you end up seeing everything.
