When reaching the section passing through So At B hamlet, Vinh Phuoc ward, Mr. Theo discovered smoke rising from the front of the vehicle.
Mr. Teo quickly pulled into the right margin at the bare land of the South River. As soon as he got off the car, the fire had flared up at the front of the car. People witnessed the incident immediately called to report to the police of Vinh Phuoc ward.
