The shop sells prepared banquet-style dishes associated with a well-known local zongpu chef (總鋪師), and the crash disrupted business on the first day of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, reports said.

Ministry official Tsao Chin-wei (趙晉緯) said people in Taiwan remain subject to Taiwanese law, regardless of whether the drug use took place in a jurisdiction where cannabis is legal, CNA reported.

Police said Kaohsiung recorded 739 drug-impaired driving cases from January through May, an increase of 299 cases from the same period last year.

The vehicle struck one electric-assisted bicycle and two heavy motorcycles parked on the roadside before leaving the roadway and mounting the MRT station area, police said. The passenger initially insisted that she had been driving, but police said her account was contradicted by the evidence. She was also referred for investigation on suspicion of taking the blame for another person and causing false information to be entered into official records

When the officers arrived, they found Yen sitting by the roadside, appearing dazed. Police said other road users had kept watch over him after he allegedly attempted to leave the scene. A search of the vehicle turned up one packet of amphetamine weighing 19.4 grams, two etomidate vape cartridges, and one bottle of etomidate refill liquid weighing 57.5 grams, police said. A saliva drug screening test showed positive results for methamphetamine and etomidate, indicating suspected drug use before driving.

In addition to criminal charges, police also issued traffic citations for drunk driving, hit-and-run, running a red light, and failing to stay in the proper lane. The violations carry combined fines that add up to NT$102,600, police said.

On Friday, the husband of the victim, surnamed Li, and their three children returned to the crash site to perform a traditional seventh-day spirit-calling ritual, which in Taiwanese mourning customs marks the first week after a death. Witnesses said the children called out for their mother to come home while kneeling beside her memorial tablet.
