On the afternoon of December 26, passersby discovered a young man riding a motorbike with license plate 37 B2 - 809.10 from Vinh City to Ha Tinh. When he reached the middle of Ben Thuy Bridge, he stopped his motorbike, climbed over the bridge railing, and threw himself into the Lam River.
A female employee of the Ben Thuy BOT Toll Station said that a local resident discovered the young man climbing over the railing of Ben Thuy Bridge, but before they could stop him, he had already "fallen off the railing."

Because the bridge was high, the river was wide, and the water was flowing fast, no passersby dared to jump into the Lam River to rescue this young man. From the motorbike left on the bridge, relatives identified him as Mr. A. (28 years old, residing in Trung Do ward, Vinh city).
