Strong winds from Typhoon Megi caused a coach carrying Japanese tourists to overturn on a national highway in central Taiwan on Tuesday (September 27). <br /> <br />At least seven passengers were injured and were transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. <br /> <br />A doctor at the hospital said those injured were between 50 and 60 years old and one person was severely hurt. <br /> <br />Typhoon Megi - the third typhoon to hit Taiwan this month - killed at least four people and injured hundreds on Tuesday, knocking down trees and cutting power to millions. <br /> <br />Most schools and offices were shut and the north-south bullet train suspended services as Typhoon Megi, packing winds of well over 160 kph (100 mph), roared in from the Pacific. <br /> <br />At least 167 people were injured and more than 11,500 evacuated, the government's Central Emergency Operation Center said. Authorities also estimated more than two million households had lost power, while over 45,000 were without water. <br /> <br />Bus and subway services were mostly suspended in the capital, Taipei, while hundreds of international flights were cancelled. <br /> <br />The typhoon was moving across Taiwan and expected to head into the Taiwan Strait and on towards China on Wednesday (September 28) where it will make landfall in the southeastern province of Fujian.
