Taipei - Typhoon Jangmi left two people dead, two missing and 58 injured when it slammed Taiwan over the weekend, the country's disaster centre said on Monday.

An 18-year-old woman motorcyclist in Taichung County died when an electric wire broken by the wind snapped her off the bike. She died from the injuries.

Also in Taichung County, an 82-year-old man going for a haircut was blown off his motorbike by strong winds and drowned in a flooded rice paddy, the centre said.

A total of 58 people were injured across the island, many hit by fallen signboards or cut by fallen glass.

The typhoon caused severe damage to agriculture as large areas of crops and vegetables were inundated by floods.

Janmgi made landfall on Taiwan's north-eastern tip Sunday afternoon.

The typhoon centre said the storm passed out of Taiwan Monday morning, moving in a north-easterly direction along China's east coast at 18 kilometres per hour.

Taiwan's rail and air traffic that was disrupted Sunday had partially resumed Monday morning.

But heavy rain continued to fall in north Taiwan, keeping the Taipei stock exchange closed on Monday. (dpa)
