Traffic accident scene. |
According to initial information, at around 7:00 p.m. on April 15, a pig-carrying truck with license plate 60C-107.62 (driver's identity unknown) was traveling on National Highway 1A, from Bien Hoa to Ho Chi Minh City. At the Vung Tau intersection overpass, seeing the vehicle showing signs of violating traffic laws, the traffic police (under the Traffic Police Department of Dong Nai Province Police) on duty there signaled the vehicle to stop for inspection.
However, the driver did not comply and deliberately stepped on the gas to run away. A traffic police officer used a motorbike to chase and stop him. When arriving at the Dong Nai bridge toll station, the traffic police officer collided with a truck and was run over by the truck's wheels, killing him on the spot. After causing the accident, the driver got out of the car and left the scene.
Upon receiving the news, Dong Nai Provincial Police and other professional units were present to examine and investigate the cause. At the scene, the truck was lying between the barriers at the toll booth. The body of the traffic police officer was lying about 1 meter from the rear wheel of the truck.
Because the accident occurred right in the middle of the toll station, authorities have blocked off the road to Ho Chi Minh City to assist in the investigation.
The cause of the accident is under investigation.
