Do Van Thang (16 years old, resident of Thai Son commune, An Lao district), the person driving the Air Blade motorbike that hit Lieutenant Quy, was transferred to Kien An General Hospital by An Lao district police after suffering an injury to the top of his head.
At the time of the accident, Thang was driving at 61 km/h, while Provincial Road 354 through residential areas only allows speeds under 50 km/h. Hai Phong City Police are waiting for the results of the injury assessment of Senior Lieutenant Quy to serve as a basis for handling Thang.
At 11:00 a.m. on July 9, a traffic police team from An Lao District Police (Hai Phong) was on duty on Provincial Road 354, passing through My Duc Commune (An Lao District). Discovering a young man riding a motorbike at high speed without a helmet, Senior Lieutenant Nguyen Trong Quy signaled for the vehicle to stop, but the man crashed into him.
The strong collision caused Lieutenant Quy to fall face down on the road, unconscious.
