The incident occurred on 30/8 in Hubei, China. A van overtook the taxi from the left while the taxi appeared to be attempting to pass a bus, despite the taxi driver not signaling while steering left.

Apparently angered by being cut off, the taxi driver pursued the van, accelerating rapidly and tailgating closely. A sharp swerve to the left towards the van resulted in the taxi losing control after a minor collision. The taxi careened over a guardrail, flipping onto a car in the opposite lane.

At the scene, glass and debris littered the ground. All three taxi passengers were injured, with the front-seat passenger sustaining the most serious injuries. This passenger was rendered unconscious and rushed to the hospital. The other two passengers suffered multiple fractures. The taxi driver escaped with minor injuries, but the car was almost completely destroyed.

Police arrested the taxi driver and determined he was responsible for the accident due to dangerous driving. This wasn't the driver's first offense. Three years prior, he received a citation for changing lanes over a solid line, and he had previously been involved in a dispute over lane encroachment.

The incident garnered significant attention, with most comments criticizing the taxi driver's reckless behavior. Taxis are a popular mode of transportation in major cities, carrying numerous commuters daily. However, when a driver uses their vehicle as a weapon to vent anger, the car transforms from a means of transport into a dangerous mobile weapon. One commenter noted the saying, "Win the battle, lose your life," was particularly relevant in this case.
