The incident occurred in rainy weather when a container truck was traveling at a considerable speed. The vehicle showed no signs of decelerating before hitting a cyclist ahead, who was moving in the same direction. The truck struck the cyclist, sending them flying towards the roadside, and then ran over the bicycle. The extent of injuries is currently unknown.
This incident highlights critical driving safety issues. Drivers must control their speed and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. In rainy conditions with limited visibility, drivers of large vehicles, which often have many blind spots, need to be particularly attentive while on the road. According to Decree 168/2024, failing to maintain a safe distance and causing an accident incurs a fine of 20-22 million VND and a deduction of 10 points from the driver's license.
