On November 29, information from Lam Dong General Hospital said that the unit is actively treating Ms. Nguyen Thi Van Anh (21 years old), the victim of an electric car accident yesterday in Da Lat city.
At the time of hospitalization, Ms. Anh had a traumatic brain injury, cervical spinal cord injury, lung injury, and abdominal effusion. After emergency care and treatment, Ms. Anh was conscious but had paralyzed legs, weak arms, and stable blood pressure.
Ms. Anh’s most serious injury is related to her cervical spine. She has been receiving intensive treatment from doctors and nurses at Lam Dong General Hospital since her admission.
Her family is currently completing procedures to transfer her to Ho Chi Minh City for further treatment. Her husband, Nguyen Van Son (26 years old), residing in Hanoi, was also a victim of the car accident. He only suffered minor injuries.
The most heartbreaking thing was that their 1-year-old daughter did not survive. The driver, Mr. Ho Xuan Long, also suffered soft tissue injuries and minor scratches.
Mr. Nguyen Van Son said, “I had just gotten in the car for a while when I saw the car going very fast. Then, the car flipped over.”
A representative of the taxi company said that the unit has provided initial support of 100 million VND to Mr. Son’s family. The electric car taxi company has also sent people to the hospital to take care of the victim.
The taxi company is also working with authorities to clarify the cause of the accident.
Previously, at around 10:48 a.m. on November 28, Mr. Long drove Mr. Son and his wife and their 1-year-old daughter to a coffee shop in Ta Nung commune, Da Lat city.
While the electric car was traveling on a residential road, near the coffee shop, it suddenly changed direction, hit the curb and flipped over. The incident killed the little girl and injured the driver and Mr. Son and his wife.
