Quynh Luu: Two trucks stuck in a "pothole" for hours

(Baonghean.vn) - At noon on October 31, 2014, while traveling on National Highway 537B through Quynh Ba commune, Quynh Luu district, a truck with license plate 37C - 12921 fell into a pothole right in the middle of the road.

Two trucks stuck in a pothole causing traffic jam

For nearly 2 hours, despite trying many ways to escape this "elephant" nest, the car still barely moved.

At nearly 11am, another truck with license plate 37V – 4268 passed through this “elephant” pothole in the opposite direction. Because it was avoiding the truck 37C – 12921, the truck 37V – 4268 also fell into another “elephant” pothole right next to it. The two large trucks falling into the same spot caused traffic to be suspended. It took nearly an hour for both trucks to escape the terrifying “elephant” pothole.

According to many people in the area where the two vehicles had an accident, Route 537B has a very high traffic volume, is the main artery of the eastern part of the district, with thousands of vehicles passing through every day, but the road has been seriously degraded for a long time, although it has been repaired, it has been damaged again after a short time, potholes have formed more and more, causing traffic obstruction, especially when it rains, posing many potential traffic accident risks. It is recommended that the authorities soon find a solution to help people travel conveniently./.
