4 consecutive traffic accidents, National Highway 1A seriously congested

At around 2:30 p.m. on March 2, on National Highway 1A, through Hamlet 16, Nghi Thuan Commune, a traffic accident occurred between a garbage truck with license plate 37C-145.47 driven by Mr. Pham Quang Du and a motorbike with license plate 37H7-5252 driven by a young man (identity unknown).

Because the garbage truck was coming from hamlet 16, a motorbike crashed head-on into the front of the truck, seriously injuring the young man and causing the motorbike to be severely damaged.

After the collision, the garbage truck blocked the road, causing traffic jams and indirectly causing 3 traffic accidents between 6 cars. The most serious of these was between a truck with license plate 37C – 230.79 and a car driven by Mr. Tran Quang Dau (residing in Kim Son town, Que Phong district) traveling in the same direction, causing the side of the car to be dented.

Four consecutive accidents in less than 20 minutes on National Highway 1A through Nghi Long, Nghi Thuan, Nghi Loc district caused traffic congestion of nearly 2 km for nearly 3 hours.

Although the Nghi Loc District Traffic Police mobilized the maximum force to the scene to organize traffic regulation to ensure safety, due to the large number of vehicles, the scene was cleared slowly, so it was not until 5:30 p.m. the same day that traffic was reopened./.
