On the morning of August 9, on National Highway 48, through Chau Thang commune, Quy Chau district, a sand truck with license plate 37C-13692 was entering a curve when it died in the middle of the road.
Because the vehicle has a large load and a long rear end, it takes up most of the road. Therefore, it is very difficult for vehicles to travel through this section of the road.
