However, many motorcycles and their riders were still at the side of the road.
Collision caused by motorcyclist who dropped his drill
According to China Press, a motorcyclist involved claimed on Facebook that the accident started after one of the motorcyclists dropped his electric drill on the road.
He had stopped his motorcycle in the middle of the road and got off to retrieve the drill, the original poster (OP) wrote.
But this led to at least 10 motorcycles behind crashing into one another, with the OP being the first to hit the stationary motorcycle.
He said it was fortunate that he was not speeding or the consequences would have been more serious.
At least 10 motorcycles involved
The OP counted at least 10 motorcycles that were involved in the chain collision.
Four motorcyclists were injured and sent to the hospital, he said.
The OP himself was not seriously injured, suffering only hand pain.
