Car crashed into utility pole

A 36-year-old Singaporean man travelled to Taiwan with his wife from China and their three-year-old daughter.

The family rented a car and were enroute to pick strawberries together.

When driving on Provincial Highway 3, the car suddenly drifted onto the wrong side of the road for unknown reasons.

It then crashed straight into a utility pole with enough force that the rear of the car lifted into the air.

The metal pole then came crashing down across the road right afterwards.

Photos of the accident showed the heavy damage on the front of the car, wedged against the roadside.
