Giving motorbike to underage child, causing fatal accident, father and son prosecuted

At the same time, the police agency also issued a decision to supplement the decision to prosecute the criminal case, prosecute the accused and issue a ban on leaving the place of residence against Nguyen Van Manh, born in 1979 (Hieu's father) for the crime of "Allowing an unqualified person to drive a vehicle to participate in road traffic", according to the provisions of Article 264 - Penal Code.

According to the investigation results, on the evening of July 9, Nguyen Minh Hieu borrowed a Honda Wave α motorbike (without a license plate) that Mr. Manh had just bought to go out and with Mr. Manh's consent.

Afterwards, Hieu invited two more friends, Do Thanh Chung and Nguyen Quang Huy (both born in 2007), to go out to the lakeside area in Lap Thach commune. While going, Chung drove the motorbike carrying Huy, while Hieu drove the motorbike borrowed from his father alone.

On the way back, Hieu drove Huy, driving the motorbike at high speed without wearing a helmet, and collided with Mr. Tran Van Toan (a local resident) who was riding a bicycle in the same direction. The collision caused Mr. Toan to die on the spot.

After the accident, Hieu and Huy fell onto the road and were hit by a motorbike driven by Nguyen Duy Hoang Anh going in the opposite direction, causing Huy to also die and Hieu and Hoang Anh to be slightly injured.

The investigation determined that Hieu was underage, did not have a driver's license, did not control his speed and did not keep a safe distance, which was the direct cause of the accident. At the same time, the police also clarified the responsibility of Mr. Nguyen Van Manh - the person who gave Hieu the car to drive even though he knew his son did not meet the legal requirements. This behavior caused particularly serious consequences, leading to death, so Mr. Manh was prosecuted.

The incident is a warning bell for parents in managing their children, especially not to let unqualified people drive their vehicles. Because this not only poses a risk of serious accidents, but can also lead to legal consequences for parents if they intentionally violate.
