A garbage truck struck a motorcyclist on Nguyen Thi Tuoi street in Di An on 6/10 before fleeing the scene. The incident occurred as the motorcycle traveled ahead of the garbage truck on a wide road. Approaching a curve, the motorcyclist began moving into an adjacent lane. At that moment, the garbage truck overtook the motorcycle, sharply swerving to the left and colliding with the rider. The extent of any injuries remains unknown.

Driving large vehicles like garbage trucks in urban areas demands strict adherence to speed limits and safe driving practices to prevent serious collisions. Drivers must never cut off or intentionally knock down other road users. Such actions, like those of the garbage truck driver in this incident, pose a severe risk to the lives of motorcyclists. Following any collision, drivers are legally obligated to stop, assist victims, and preserve the scene for investigation.

The garbage truck driver, who caused the accident involving the motorcyclist, could face not only administrative penalties for road traffic violations but also criminal charges.
