And in a related development, Thanh Hoa Provincial Police have summoned two barrier guards, Pham Van Vui (born in 1978) and Nguyen Van Hung (born in 1983), to take statements. According to initial assessment, the cause of the accident was due to the truck carrying rocks crossing the road without looking, so it was hit by the North-South train that had just arrived.
