According to the police, at around 9am on November 30, Truong drove a motorbike carrying Truong Van Dao (23 years old) onto the Hanoi – Thai Nguyen highway towards Hanoi. When he reached Km66 (through Quyet Thang commune, Thai Nguyen city), he encountered a working group of the Traffic Police Department on duty.

Upon discovering the violation, Major Tran Van Vang signaled for the motorbike to stop. Knowing that he was entering a prohibited road and not wearing a helmet or a driver's license, Truong accelerated and hit Major Vang, causing the victim to collapse on the spot. Truong and Dao were also taken to Thai Nguyen A Hospital for emergency treatment immediately afterwards.

Major Vang was hospitalized in a coma, with a broken jaw and forehead, and a broken left forearm; due to severe injuries, he died at 5:00 p.m. on November 30.
