At noon on March 6, the Phu Lam Traffic Police Team (under the Traffic Police Department of Ho Chi Minh City Police) completed handling the scene of a dump truck accident on Le Duc Anh Street (old National Highway 1), Binh Hung Hoa B Ward, causing serious traffic congestion.
According to initial information, at around 5am the same day, a dump truck carrying rocks with a HCMC license plate was traveling on Le Duc Anh Street, in the direction from An Suong to An Lac roundabout. When arriving at the area about 200m from Go May overpass (in Binh Hung Hoa B ward, Ho Chi Minh City), the dump truck suddenly crashed into the concrete median strip on the road, causing the vehicle to overturn.
The dump truck overturned, causing rocks from the truck to spill onto the road, causing a traffic jam of nearly 10km. After receiving the information, the Phu Lam Traffic Police Team arrived at the scene, organized traffic regulation and coordinated with the road management unit to fix the problem.
Broken traffic signs have been moved onto the sidewalk, and damaged concrete median strips have been replaced.
An excavator was also dispatched to the scene to pick up the rocks dumped on the road and move them to another vehicle. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
