Previously, on May 31, Bui Tuan Anh drove a truck causing a serious traffic accident that killed an 8-month pregnant woman and her daughter on Vo Quy Huan Street, Phuc Dien Ward, Bac Tu Liem District.
At that time, Mr. Nguyen Van H. (born in 1991, in Nhan Thanh, Yen Thanh district, Nghe An province) was driving a motorbike carrying his pregnant wife and 4-year-old daughter. When he was approaching the gate of Minh Khai Secondary School on Vo Quy Huan street, he was hit by a truck driven by Bui Tuan Anh, who while reversing, dragged Mr. H.'s entire family under it.
The accident caused Mr. H.’s wife to give birth prematurely at the scene and she later died. The newborn boy and 4-year-old girl also died on arrival at the hospital. Mr. H. suffered minor injuries.
At the investigation agency, Tuan Anh confessed that at that time he was transporting goods to deliver to customers.
When he reached the above road, he realized he was on the wrong road and saw a sign prohibiting heavy trucks from 6am to 9am ahead, so Bui Tuan Anh stopped and backed up, intending to turn onto Phuc Minh Street, about 20 meters away.
However, due to haste, lack of observation, and not seeing the motorbike behind, when reversing, Tuan Anh's truck caused a tragic accident.
