    Many car drivers, afraid of violating traffic lights, stopped on the road. Meanwhile, some motorcyclists got off their vehicles and walked across the intersection.

    The incident caused traffic congestion of more than 2km on Vo Chi Cong Street in both directions. Through verification, the incident occurred in the afternoon of the same day.

    A driver from Binh Duong province, driving to the intersection of Vo Chi Cong - La Xuan Oai, said the traffic light suddenly went out.

    Regarding the incident, the Traffic Police - Order Team of Thu Duc City Police has grasped the incident and is clarifying the cause.
