TAIPEI (Reuters) - A motorist drove into a crowd of journalists on Thursday, injuring six, outside the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial where activists and police had clashed over efforts to delete references to the late strongman, media said. 

Politics is bitterly polarised in Taiwan, where Chiang fled after losing the Chinese civil war to the Communists in 1949, and this week's clashes come a month before crucial parliamentary elections.
