The case of two brothers who had an accident on their way back to Nghe An: The younger brother returned home to mourn his older brother.

Mr. Nguyen Dinh Su (born in 1970, father of Tien and Dong) said: "Dong's health, spirit and psychology are not stable, sometimes unconscious, sometimes awake, but the family has asked the hospital to let Dong go home to mourn and burn incense for Tien. Our family is very poor and if we treat him in Binh Dinh, it will be difficult to travel and take care of him. After Tien's three-day memorial service, the family will take Dong to Vinh City to ask for continued hospitalization and treatment of his wounds."

Mr. Su also added that the bus company in Binh Dinh that caused the accident had paid some funeral expenses to bring Mr. Tien home to organize the funeral.

"Now, close to Tet, they (the bus company) are only taking care of the heat so we can bring Tien's body and Dong home. They promised to go to Yen Thanh on the fourth day of Tet. Currently, the motorbike of the two brothers is being held by Binh Dinh police," said Mr. Su.

As reported, at 5:00 p.m. on February 9, on the social network Facebook, a photo of the accident was shared, showing two men lying on the road next to a motorbike, a passenger bus with a damaged front end and their belongings, a photo of their household registration, with the caption: "Nghe An brothers riding motorbikes home for Tet, accident in Binh Dinh, anyone who knows, please contact". Immediately after that, many people shared the above photo and commented, hoping to find relatives of the two victims of the accident. Many people commented, sympathizing with the tragic accident, "so painful", "so sad"...

Mr. Tien has just completed his military service and has been discharged for over a year now. Mr. Dong has been recruited for military service. He plans to join the army after returning home from the South for Tet.

Relatives also said that Dong had just come to the South to do business with his brother for about a month.

Due to difficult circumstances, Mr. Tien had just bought a motorbike on installments for about 3 days when the two brothers decided to ride their motorbikes from the South to Nghe An to celebrate Tet with their family.

However, when driving on Highway 1A to Binh Dinh, he was hit by a passenger bus.

On the afternoon of February 9, after hearing the bad news that "two children had an accident in Binh Dinh", Mr. Nguyen Dinh Su (father of Dong and Tien) ran to borrow 6 million VND from a neighbor to rent a car with his two uncles to go to Binh Dinh. On the way to Ha Tinh, the car's tire blew out, at the same time Mr. Su received the sad news that "one of his children had died". The pain was so great that Mr. Su and his two uncles swallowed their tears, waited for the tire to be changed, then continued their journey to receive the body of their deceased child to bring back to their hometown and take care of their child who was being treated in the hospital.

Mr. Su's family is near-poor.

In recent days, with the spirit of "mutual love and support", "the rich help the poor", the local government of Lien Thanh commune and the social network community have called for donations to help Mr. Su's family overcome the pain and difficulties.
