Around 7 a.m. on 4/8, a bus carrying over 40 passengers, driven by Nguyen Minh Tuan, was traveling on ring road 3 towards Phap Van. Nearing lane 124 Nguyen Xien street, Thanh Liet ward, the bus slowed due to heavy traffic.
At the same time, Son was driving a 7-seater car alongside the bus in the emergency lane and attempted to merge. When Tuan didn't yield, Son felt he was being uncooperative, leading to an argument.
Video footage shows Son subsequently entering the bus cabin, removing the key, and leaving.

Without the key, the bus was immobilized, causing congestion on ring road 3. Many passengers had to disembark and stand in the emergency lane in nearly 40°C heat.
About an hour later, the bus resumed its journey using a spare key.
