The car was almost totaled in the crash, but the driver climbed out by himself, then sat cross-legged by the roadside, placing his hands over his lower abdomen, just like a martial arts master in a Wuxia novel doing Qi Gong to heal himself. He even stood up at one point and made punching motions in the air with breathing exercises, sparking heated discussion among netizens.
According to a report from TVBS News, the incident happened in Nantou, Taiwan, at the 20.1-kilometer mark on the eastbound National Freeway No. 6. A gray SUV, suspected of changing lanes, rear-ended a silver sedan in front, lost control, rolled over, and crashed into the outer guardrail. The entire vehicle was almost totaled. However, the most eye-catching part of the scene wasn't the wrecked car, but the driver's "performance art."
Video footage shows that after the 24-year-old driver, surnamed Huang, climbed out of the vehicle by himself, he immediately sat cross-legged by the roadside, placed his hands over his lower abdomen, just like a master in a martial arts novel healing himself with inner energy. He even stood up at one point, punched the air, and did controlled breathing movements.
The Kuai Guan Division of the National Highway Police Bureau stated that both drivers’ breathalyzer tests were zero, and Mr. Huang showed no signs of drug use. It is suspected that the accident was caused by a driving error. He suffered minor injuries at the scene and has already been transported by ambulance to Puli Christian Hospital for treatment. The specific cause of the accident is still under further investigation.
