A 7-seat passenger car with Avanza registration plate 19A-483.13, carrying 6 people, traveling from Loc Binh commune (Lang Son) to Hanoi, collided strongly with a tractor-trailer with license plate: 98E-000.77, pulling a semi-trailer with license plate: 98R-012.92.

They were on their way from Loc Binh to Hanoi to visit sick people when they suddenly had an accident. Currently, the authorities are coordinating to investigate and clarify the cause of the incident.
This particularly serious accident caused National Highway 1A to be congested for a long time.
