Do nesreće je došlo kada je voz koji je išao na liniji Tajpei - Taitung, iskliznuo iz šina i vagoni udarili u zid tunela, saopštila je vatrogasna služba, a u trenutku nesreće u vozu se nalazilo 350 putnika.
Iz prva četiri vagona evakuisano je 80 do 100 osoba, dok je veoma teško pristupiti do preostala četiri vagona.
