The accident occurred at around 11am on November 19, at the railway crossing at km06 + 940 in the Binh Thuan - Phan Thiet section. This location is in Ham Hiep commune, Ham Thuan Bac district, Binh Thuan province.
At that time, the SPT2 train on its way from Ho Chi Minh City to Phan Thiet collided with a car with license plate 86A-140.07 on the level crossing. The collision caused the car to spin 180 degrees and then collided with a motorbike with license plate 86B3-724.60.
The motorbike was driven by a woman who was injured and taken to hospital. At the scene, the motorbike was in front of the car.
After the accident, the train stopped for a while and then continued its journey. Railway staff arrived at the scene to make a report of the incident. Ham Hiep Commune Police arrived to protect the scene of the accident.
The location of the accident had no barriers and had been the scene of many accidents before. This is a private railway line from Binh Thuan Station to Phan Thiet Station serving passenger trains on the Ho Chi Minh City - Phan Thiet route, so the accident did not affect the North-South railway line.
