On the afternoon of November 18, she picked up her grandchild right at the car door, but while she was waiting to pick up another grandchild, LTKNg crossed the street into the house and the heartbreaking incident happened.
Regarding the shuttle bus, it was learned that some parents contracted with a local person to pick up and drop off their children.
Mr. Cao Duc Cuong, resident of Hamlet 1, Cao Son Commune, Anh Son District - the driver of the car, said: He has a contract with a group of parents to pick up and drop off 32 students in Hamlet 1 and Hamlet 6, Cao Son Commune, of which 28 are primary school students, the rest are preschoolers. Every day, there are 4 trips including morning departure and noon return, early afternoon departure and evening pick up and return, with a price of 400,000 VND/child/month. Pick up and drop off are right in front of the house and parents always take the children.
The family of L.Th.K.Ng's grandmother contracted a bus company to pick up and drop off 4 children (2 grandchildren, 2 granddaughters) to school every day. On the afternoon of November 18, when the bus arrived at the opposite alley, Ng's grandmother was waiting, standing right at the door of the bus to pick up the children as usual. At that time, one child got off first and ran home, while Ng stood near the front of the bus. Ng's grandmother stayed to wait for her two grandchildren, but was told by Cuong that today her children were being picked up by their mother at school. While she was talking to him, Ng suddenly saw her sister standing on the other side of the street, so she ran across the street to go home and was hit by a truck.
Previously, Nghe An Newspaper reported that at around 5:15 p.m. on November 18, a school bus stopped on Ho Chi Minh Road, passing through Hamlet 1, Cao Son Commune, Anh Son District, to let a student off.
When LTKNg, 5 years old, got out of the car and ran across the street to get home, at the same time a truck rushed towards and hit the child. Although the people took him to the emergency room, the child did not survive.
Currently, the Investigation Police Agency of Anh Son District Police is temporarily detaining the related vehicles to investigate the cause of the accident, as well as issues related to the shuttle vehicle.
