Two more Nghe An workers had an accident while riding a motorbike from Binh Duong to their hometown.

On the evening of October 8, Mr. Luong Van Hai (36 years old) was driving a motorbike carrying Mr. Luong Van Son (41 years old, also residing in Xieng Nua village, Yen Na commune, Tuong Duong) and a group of fellow countrymen from Binh Duong returning to their hometown. When reaching Cam Thuy commune (Le Thuy district, Quang Binh), Mr. Hai's motorbike collided with a truck carrying acacia wood going in the opposite direction.

The collision left both people on the motorbike seriously injured. By the time local residents and authorities took him to the hospital, Mr. Hai had died. Mr. Son, who was sitting behind, was also seriously injured.

Speaking to a reporter from Nghe An Newspaper, a leader of Yen Na commune said that the group of fellow countrymen traveling with Mr. Hai are completing the procedures and renting a car to bring Mr. Hai's body back to his hometown for burial.

Earlier, on the same afternoon on National Highway 1 through Thang Binh District (Quang Nam), two people from Tan Ky (Nghe An) returning home on a motorbike crashed into the back of a car parked on the road, killing one person and seriously injuring the other. The cause of the accident is said to be due to the rain and the motorcyclist not being able to see in time.

After Ho Chi Minh City and the southern provinces relaxed social distancing since October 1, many people decided to return to their hometowns despite local authorities' calls to stay. Because public passenger transport by road, rail, and air is still suspended, they mainly have to use motorbikes as a means of transportation. In the past few days, more than 7,000 Nghe An workers from the southern provinces have returned to their hometowns by motorbike. Of these, 15 F0 cases have been detected.
