One car manages to swerve it as it comes flying back, and it bounces off the bonnet of another motor.
It then disappears out of view and falls onto the grass slope at the side of the motorway.
Four vehicles in total were involved in the collision.
A man who has been identified only with his surname, Chen, was driving the minibus and was reportedly killed in the accident.
The 52-year-old victim was rescued from his vehicle, which had sustained serious damage, to be taken to hospital, where doctors found that his trachea had ruptured.
He sadly did not survive, as reported by Need To Know.
Emergency services arrived on the scene, including police and firefighters.
There were no serious injuries caused to the other three drivers, who did not require medical attention.
The collision happened around 8am on 14 November on Taiwan’s National Highway Number One.
With it being the peak time for people to travel to work, the incident caused blockages which occupied the inner two lands for around two kilometres.
National Highway Police are set to investigate the cause of the accident.
The National Highway Team has called for drivers to ensure they check the condition of their tyres on their own vehicles before driving.
