Accordingly, at 7:28 p.m. on April 15, 2018, on the personal Facebook page of Tictac Nguyen, a 2-minute, 22-second clip appeared, recording the scene of the Tan Ky District Traffic Police Team handling a rare traffic accident involving a foreign couple who collided with the back of a car of a person traveling in the same direction and were thrown onto the road.

The minor accident scratched the foreign female backpacker’s face and knee. After the accident, the two tourists were extremely confused and worried because they did not know how to handle the situation, so the people nearby called the traffic police to resolve the matter.

In the clip, the traffic police officers not only performed their duties but also took good care of the victim. One of the officers personally used a medical gauze pad to clean the wound on the face of the foreign female passenger who was very scared and panicked.

Along with the enthusiastic care of the police comrades, there was the image of a petite female teacher who acted as a professional interpreter for the two guests, helping the police comrades find out the cause of the incident and come up with the most peaceful solution.

"Ms. Quyen speaks English like the wind", "If it weren't for her, the two Western guests would have cried", "This is the beautiful image of Vietnamese people in the eyes of foreigners"... are the humorous and good-natured comments of many netizens for these impressive actions.

It is known that the cause of the accident was due to a Western tourist carelessly hitting the back of a car traveling in the same direction. After receiving first aid, the two tourists were taken to the hospital for X-rays by the police and Ms. Quyen. Fortunately, both of them only suffered minor injuries. Afterwards, both sides reconciled, thanked each other, and continued their journey.

It is known that the person who directly handled and took care of the victim was Lieutenant Nguyen Quang Nghia, from the Traffic Police Team, Tan Ky District Police.

When asked, Lieutenant Nghia said: “Ensuring safety and resolving traffic accidents is our duty, and caring for and helping victims is something that anyone with a conscience would do.”

The interpreter is Ms. Vo Thi Hong Quyen, currently a teacher at Tan Ky 3 High School. Ms. Quyen shared: “I tried my best with my foreign language skills to help the police officers resolve the incident. I often go to the roundabout near milestone 0 to meet Western tourists to talk, give directions, find restaurants, motels, etc., or help them shop for small items. This is both an opportunity for me to experience communication skills and help foreign guests, because very few people here can communicate fluently in English.”
