On 18/5, a traffic accident unfolded at a busy roundabout in Binh Nguyen. A motorcyclist, attempting to enter the roundabout, swerved abruptly in front of a black car traveling straight. The motorcycle struck the car's front, throwing the rider onto the road.

Immediately after the fall, a large truck, approaching from behind, ran over the fallen motorcyclist before colliding with the car. The motorcyclist was pinned under the truck. The severity of the rider's injuries remains unclear.

This incident underscores vital driving safety practices, especially at intersections and roundabouts. Drivers must observe their surroundings and control speed. Motorcyclists, when changing direction or entering a roundabout, must signal, check traffic, and only change lanes when a safe distance is available. It is crucial to avoid cutting across the path of larger vehicles.

The accident also highlights the danger of vehicles speeding through roundabouts without reducing speed or yielding. All drivers approaching roundabouts or intersections must slow down and be prepared for sudden events. In this instance, the truck followed too closely, denying its driver sufficient time and space to brake.
