On the way to O Mon district, because he forgot his documents, Tan quickly turned back to Thot Not.

The accident left 12 people dead and injured. Among them, Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh Tuyet (22 years old; residing in Thot Not district) and the bus assistant Chau Thanh Quang (45 years old; residing in An Giang province) died on the spot. Many very critical cases are still being treated in the hospital.

According to witnesses, the driver was driving at a very high speed, about 100 km/h, at the time of the accident. During the investigation, the investigation agency initially determined that the driver was driving at a high speed in the rain and on slippery roads, so he lost control of the vehicle and caused the accident.
