16-month-old girl in Ha Tinh dies after crawling under concrete mixer truck
Driver Dung drove away, not knowing that a little girl was hiding under the car and was asked to stop by locals when they saw the body in the middle of the road.
At around 8:00 a.m. on August 22, while constructing an inter-village road in Cam Due commune (Cam Xuyen district, Ha Tinh), a concrete mixer truck driven by a driver named Dung (residing in Cam Due commune) ran over and killed 16-month-old Le Nhu Quynh. Quynh's house was in front of the construction site.

Mr. Tran Xuan Long, Chairman of Cam Due Commune People's Committee, said that this morning Quynh was at home with her grandfather. Because her relatives were not paying attention, Quynh toddled out into the street and crawled under a tanker truck that was stopped to mix concrete.
"Driver Dung did not know there was someone below, so after completing his mission, he drove the car, causing the girl to die. After the car had gone 250 meters, people discovered the girl's body in the middle of the road, so they chased after the driver and asked him to stop," said Mr. Long.
Authorities are investigating the incident.
