Previously, as reported by Nghe An Newspaper, in recent days, due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, thousands of workers from the southern provinces have driven thousands of kilometers back to their hometowns by motorbike. Nghe An is the province with the largest number of people returning home by motorbike. During that stormy journey, there were many traffic accidents along the way.
Accordingly, also on the afternoon of July 31, Xong Ba Rong (22 years old, residing in Na Ngoi commune, Ky Son district), was driving a motorbike when he suddenly crashed into the road railing, causing him serious injuries. Rong had the accident when he was almost home, in Hien Son commune, Do Luong. According to the victim, because he had been driving from Ho Chi Minh City for 3 days and 3 nights, he was so tired that he fell asleep, leading to the accident./.
