Three people were found dead and one person is still missing in a traffic accident in Taiwan on Tuesday, local media reported.

Heading for the Deji reservoir, the service car, which belongs to the Taiwan Power Company, set out from a power plant in Nantou County on Monday morning with four staff members including the driver on board.

The vehicle was reported missing, prompting local firemen and rescuers to search for it in the vicinity of the Deji reservoir. They found three bodies but the driver is still missing.

According to an initial investigation, the vehicle probably hit a dip on the road when it tried to dodge a car for obstacles. Although a warning post has been set up near the dip, the driver's view might have been blocked.
