Large pool of blood on road: Eyewitness

A delivery driver surnamed Lin (transliteration) told Shin Min Daily News that when he passed by the accident site at around 10:30am, a tow truck and ambulance were at the scene.

About one-and-a-half hours later, when Lin passed by again, he saw police officers there.

There was also a large pool of blood on the road, said Lin.

Pictures published in Shin Min taken by Lin showed a black car and red motorcycle on the expressway.

At least two lanes were cordoned off.

Lin told Shin Min that due to traffic congestion caused by the accident, he took about two hours, which was twice as long as usual, to complete his deliveries.

Police investigations are ongoing.
