On December 3, a 1.5-ton truck carrying industrial alcohol in a plastic tank traveling on National Highway 91B from Ninh Kieu District to O Mon District (Can Tho) suddenly caught fire. The driver quickly pulled over, opened the door, ran out and called for help while suffering from burns.

Locals quickly took the driver to the emergency room and used a mini fire extinguisher to put out the fire, but were unsuccessful. The raging fire caused panic among passersby.

Ten minutes later, dozens of firefighters extinguished the fire, but the truck was completely burned.
