The nail that fell on Nam Cam - Cua Lo road was due to people's carelessness.

(Baonghean.vn) - Major Nguyen Thanh Nhan - Deputy Chief of Nghi Loc District Police said that the unit has identified the owner of the nails that fell on Provincial Road 536, causing dozens of vehicles to have flat tires on the morning of July 24. Initially, the police determined that this was an unintentional mistake by the people, not a bad guy spreading nails for profit.

Mai Linh taxi driver said his two rear tires were 'stuck' with 15 nails. He was forced to rotate the tires to the front.

As previously reported, on the morning of July 24, some vehicles traveling on Provincial Road 536 connecting National Highway 1A, through Nam Cam Industrial Park to Cua Lo town, were hit by nails on the road, causing damage to the tires of the vehicles participating in traffic. Some vehicle owners said that these nails were spread on the road by bad guys to "trap" the vehicles.

Nghi Loc District Police continue to verify and clarify the incident.

Major Nguyen Thanh Nhan said: Immediately after receiving the report, the district police sent a working group to the scene, coordinated with local people to check and collect the nails scattered on the road and investigate the incident. The road section with nails is about 1.5km long, stretching from National Highway 1A to Nam Cam Industrial Park. The nails scattered along the road are very new.

The nails scattered on the road are new nails.

After checking, the investigation agency determined that the person who caused the nail falling on the road was Mr. Phan Van Sang (born in 1987), residing in Nghi Quang commune, Nghi Loc, and invited Mr. Sang to the headquarters for questioning.

Initially, Mr. Sang said that on the morning of July 24, he was hired to transport some materials for plaster ceilings for people. The materials were placed on a homemade vehicle, attached to the back of a motorbike. During the move, the plastic bag containing the nails was torn, causing the nails to fall onto the road, but Mr. Sang did not know.

The incident of dropping nails on the road forced Mr. Sang to compensate the owner of the goods 1 million VND. “Through initial verification, this was Mr. Sang’s unintentional mistake. He and the authorities also checked and collected the nails scattered along the road,” said Major Nhan.

Nghi Loc district police confirmed that nail thieves have never occurred on this road.

Major Nhan said: “This is an important route connecting Highway 1 to Cua Lo Port, with many vehicles such as cargo trucks, worker trucks, tourist cars, etc., so Nghi Loc District Police pay close attention and strictly control it. There has never been a nail theft incident on this route before.”

Currently, the Nghi Loc District Police investigation agency is continuing to verify to have appropriate handling direction.
