When arriving at the intersection of Vo Nguyen Giap and Le Van Viet streets (Hiep Phu ward, Thu Duc city), Ngoc stepped on the brake to stop at a red light, but mistakenly stepped on the gas pedal, causing the car to rush forward and collide with 10 motorbikes stopped in front.
The collision resulted in 4 people being injured (including 5 motorbikes whose drivers have not been identified, as the drivers left the scene after the incident). Ms. HTTT (born in 1997, from Dong Nai) was seriously injured and was taken to Gia Dinh People's Hospital for emergency treatment, where she died at around 6:00 a.m. on March 17.
