On December 8, at the site of the two accidents, according to the reporter's observations, from Km109+800 to Km110+800, National Highway 6 (Phong Phu commune, Tan Lac district) is a steep, curved road with limited visibility, and very few houses on both sides of the road.
In this area, at around 1:30 a.m. on December 2, (Km110+77), a traffic accident occurred between a passenger bus and a motorbike, killing 3 young men. Initially, the police determined that the passenger bus driver had recklessly overtaken and was driving on the wrong side of the road (going completely into the lane reserved for oncoming traffic), causing the accident.

After the two serious traffic accidents mentioned above, the Traffic Safety Committee of Hoa Binh Province, the Road Management Department I.1 (Vietnam Road Administration); the Traffic Police Department of the Provincial Police and Tan Lac District inspected the scene and agreed on a preliminary solution to handle this unsafe traffic point.
