See above. All this took place at the intersection of Tibet Road and Wu-sheng Road in downtown area where traffic congestion is a daily routine, the poles on a left turning (northbound on Tibet Road turning westbound onto Wu-sheng Road) trolley-bus on route 23 suddenly became entangled with the poles of a southbound route 18 trolley-bus. The accident happened as the result of driver of the 23 rushed into making the left turn before the 18 which was stopped in the line of traffic, was able to clear the overhead crossing, not only the 23 lost ts own poles, but also knocked off the poles on the 18 and caused the rope to break off. The female driver of the 18 had no choice but to climb up to the roof of the bus to bring down one of the poles which was shooting high up to the sky and reattach broken rope. The whole matter was cleared quickly, and both trolleys were heading off again in different directions within 10 minutes.
