Initial information, the above accident occurred at around 12:15 p.m. on September 13 on Provincial Road 725, through Village 8, Loc Ngai Commune, Bao Lam District, Lam Dong Province.
At the time of the incident, a truck with a Dong Nai province license plate driven by Vu Minh Phuc (33 years old), residing in Thong Nhat district, Dong Nai province, was traveling on Provincial Road 725 from Tan Lam commune (Di Linh district) to Loc Thang town (Bao Lam district).
Images from a security camera show that when reaching a curve where vehicles are prohibited from overtaking at km93+200 on Provincial Road 725, the truck driver completely crossed over to the left side of the road to overtake a car traveling in the same direction ahead.
The reckless overtaking caused the truck to crash head-on into a motorbike driven by Ms. T (42 years old), residing in Loc Ngai commune, Bao Lam district, in the opposite direction. The accident caused the motorbike to be dragged under the truck. Ms. T was seriously injured and was taken to Bao Lam District Medical Center for emergency treatment, but died shortly thereafter.
The day after the accident, Bao Lam district authorities were present at the scene to regulate traffic; at the same time, examined the scene to serve the investigation, clarifying the cause of the accident.
