At around 6am, a truck with a HCM City license plate driven by Doan Minh Thanh, 25, was traveling north-south on the Vinh Hao – Phan Thiet highway. Sitting in the passenger seat was the assistant driver Truong Huu Nhan, 28.
When reaching the section passing through Hong Liem commune, Ham Thuan Bac district, the car suddenly collided with a truck with a crane and a Dong Nai license plate that was stopped in the same direction in front (not an emergency stop) due to a flat tire.
The strong collision caused the front of the truck to be deformed and stuck into the back of the crane. The assistant driver, Nhan, was thrown out of the cabin and hit the crane, killing him on the spot. The truck driver suffered minor injuries.
Traffic police have come to regulate traffic to avoid congestion and coordinate with local police to examine the scene and investigate the accident.
