(born in 1988), residing in Hamlet 5, Chau Nhan Commune, Hung Nguyen District, in the early morning of January 6, belonging to Duc Lan Transport and Tourism Company Limited. The vehicle was granted a badge by the Nghe An Department of Transport to run on a fixed route from the Eastern Bus Station of Vinh City (Nghe An) to Nuoc Ngam Bus Station (Hanoi).
