On 17/9, a truck descending a steep alley in Quy Nhon Nam ward lost control, colliding with walls on both sides. An approaching car, equipped with a dashcam, was ascending the alley. Upon seeing the truck rushing towards it, the car's driver quickly engaged reverse gear, backing out of the alley to avoid a crash. The car reached the main road just as the truck continued its uncontrolled descent into the roadway. The incident resulted in no injuries.
This incident highlights crucial driving skills. When encountering an uncontrolled vehicle descending, drivers must quickly assess escape routes and proactively avoid collisions. If reversing is necessary, drivers should observe carefully through rearview mirrors, check blind spots, and only change direction when the area behind and to the sides of the vehicle is safe. Reversing should be performed at a low speed, with readiness to stop if other vehicles or pedestrians appear.
