Scene of a serious railway accident that killed a young man

Accordingly, at around 5:00 p.m. on March 4, people living on both sides of the railway tracks near the intersection with the barrier on To Ngoc Van Street (Linh Tay Ward, Thu Duc District, Ho Chi Minh City) saw a young man walking in the middle of the railway tracks with a dazed look.

At this time, train number SPT1 (running on the Phan Thiet - Saigon route) rushed towards him. Many people shouted and the train blew its horn, but the young man still did not notice.

Due to the close distance, the train threw the victim dozens of meters forward, killing him on the spot. Some people added that the young man was walking while listening to his phone.

After the accident, the train stopped for a few minutes for train staff to coordinate with Thu Duc district authorities to record the incident before continuing its journey to the station.

Thu Duc district authorities quickly arrived to handle the incident.

The incident attracted hundreds of curious people to gather and watch. Initially, through checking the victim, the police seized some documents bearing the name of Hoang Van Phi (born in 1990, from Nghe An province).

By the evening of the same day, the victim's body was taken to the morgue for investigation, before being handed over to the family for funeral arrangements./.
