Driver dies while cleaning on the side of the road
Because the But Pass road (Quang Ninh) is narrow and has limited visibility, the passenger bus behind hit the driver of the car in front while he was standing on the side of the road.
At around 12:30 on August 26, a passenger bus with a Ninh Binh license plate was traveling on Highway 18A in the direction of Cam Pha - Ha Long (Quang Ninh). When reaching Deo But slope, Ha Long City, the bus stopped at the side of the slope so the driver could use the restroom.
At this time, a passenger bus with Hanoi license plate traveling in the same direction from the bottom of the hill hit the driver on the side of the road, then crashed into the back of the bus with Ninh Binh license plate.
