On 10/9, the Investigation Police Agency of Hue City Police indicted and temporarily detained Dang Van Vinh Hoang, 28, a resident of Phong Phu ward, on charges of violating road traffic regulations.

Initial investigations revealed that around 8:25 p.m. on 9/7, Hoang was driving a motorcycle on The Chi Tay Street in Phong Phu ward, traveling from Phong Quang ward towards Phong Dinh ward.
