Previously, as reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, at 4:40 p.m. on February 12, at km 6 of National Highway 15D (in La Lay village, A Ngo commune, Dakrong district, Quang Tri province), a tractor-trailer truck traveling from the border gate lost control while going through a narrow curve. The vehicle overturned and blocked the road, causing a traffic jam. At the time of the accident, it was raining, the road was slippery, and the location of the incident was far from residential areas, making rescue difficult.
It is known that National Highway 15D to La Lay International Border Gate has narrow lanes, after a long period of use, many degraded spots have appeared. Quang Tri Province authorities have planned to repair and renovate the narrow curves, but have not yet implemented them.
