It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.

At that time, my husband was also at home, my child cried very loudly because she was scared by the incident. When my psychology stabilized, I immediately took out my phone and called the police officers to the scene.

But because they were still panicked, the police officers did not hear clearly, then my husband called the police again and reported the above accident," Ms. May recounted.

The female witness said that when she and her husband ran out to see the scene, there were already 2 victims lying on the street. At this time, the car was lying upside down on the roadbed, glass shards scattered everywhere, the car was crumpled with many people inside.

Approaching to examine, seeing many people in the car, no movement that made me panic, I have never witnessed such a horrific accident, Ms. May recounted.

Ms. May and her husband then joined people to put the victims on a mat to wait for functional agencies to arrive.
