A rare traffic accident occurred in Taichung when a sambar deer suddenly darted onto the road and collided with a scooter. The scooter and rider were thrown to the ground, suffering multiple injuries. The driver was quickly taken to the hospital and thankfully recovered quickly.

A car’s dashcam captured an accident on the right side of the road, as scooters hit their brakes while turning the corner. A deer dashed into the road, crashing into a scooter and bringing the vehicle and its rider down with it.

The scooter was left lying in the middle of the road, forcing riders behind to swerve out of the way. The injured deer scrambled to its feet, finally fleeing the scene in a panic.

This happened on Section 5 of Xiangshan Road in Taichung’s DaduDistrict. The crash left the scooter driver hurt, but thankfully not seriously injured.

Driver
When you hit a deer, what if it’s a protected species? Who’s held responsible? If it were me, I’d cover the damage to my vehicle myself. But what about the deer?

An ambulance arrived and took the injured driver to the hospital, where they recovered smoothly.

Liu Yu-hao
Police officer
Drivers traveling through mountainous or rural areas where wild animals are likely to appear should remain alert to road conditions and their surroundings, and slow down to allow for more reaction time.

Scooter debris remained scattered by the scene of the accident, not far from a road sign warning to watch for deer. When drivers collide with wild animals, they have little choice but to cover the damages themselves.

真‧小鹿亂撞! 台中大肚有鹿竄出騎士慘摔車

2026-11-05

來看罕見車禍！台中大肚區向上路五段，日前有野生水鹿，突然從馬路旁草叢竄出，路過騎士反應不及直接撞上，連人帶車摔倒，造成多處擦挫傷，所幸送醫後沒有大礙。

行車紀錄器拍下，下坡過彎路段，右前方，好幾台機車紛紛亮起煞車燈，沒想到，下一秒，一隻小鹿突然從路邊竄出，其中一名騎士反應不及，當場摔車。

機車橫躺在車道中央，後方騎士緊急閃避，驚險躲過二次追撞。而被撞的小鹿在地上翻滾好幾圈，一路滑向分隔島，最後驚慌失措逃離現場。

事發在台中大肚區向上路五段，往市區方向。野鹿突然闖入車道，造成一名騎士摔車，多處擦挫傷。

"你撞到鹿，如果是保育的呢?是要定誰的罪，如果是我的話，車損我自己負擔，鹿呢?"

救護車到場，將受傷騎士送往醫院，經過處置後，還好沒有大礙。

[[烏日交通分隊分隊長劉于豪]]
"駕駛人行經山區、郊區等易有野生動物出沒路段時，宜隨時注意車前狀況，及道路環境並減速慢行，以增加反應時間。"

重回現場，地上還留有車殼碎片，一旁也設有告示牌提醒用路人小心野鹿。不過像這樣騎士撞到野生動物，找不到"人"負責，恐怕只能自認倒楣。
