China News Agency, Taipei, July 22. Taiwanese artist Lin Zhiying drove a Tesla on Zhongzheng North Road in Luzhu District, Taoyuan City at about 11 a.m. on the 22nd, hitting a partition island, causing the vehicle to catch fire.
According to Taiwan media reports, the police said that Lin Zhiying's alcohol test was zero. He and his son, who was sitting in the co-pilot position, were injured and were sent to the hospital for treatment, and their lives were not in danger.
According to reports from Taiwan media such as the Central News Agency and the United News Network, the police confirmed that after reviewing the monitor screen, the Tesla driven by Lin Zhiying drove forward at a not very fast speed after turning around in the lane, but it was suspected that he did not pay attention to the situation in front of the car.

According to reports, Peng Yuhong, who rescued Lin Zhiying's father and son, said that he witnessed the Tesla self-collision during the whole process. After hearing a "bang", he ran over to see it. At that time, there was a small fire in the front of the car. Lin Zhiying, who was trapped in the driver's seat, pulled out.
After the two were rescued, the fire at the front of the Tesla became bigger and spread.
