A collision on National Highway 28 caused a container truck to overturn and crush a 5-seater car, leaving three critically injured on the afternoon of 19/11.

On 19/11, around 4 PM, a container truck carrying wood chips, bearing a Lam Dong license plate, was traveling on National Highway 28.

Near the Bao Lam 5 Commune People's Committee, it collided with a 5-seater car traveling in the opposite direction.

The impact caused the container to overturn, crushing the car and deforming it. Three of the four occupants in the car were critically injured and trapped inside the cabin. Residents helped free them and transported them to a hospital for emergency treatment. The remaining car occupant and the container truck driver sustained minor injuries.

The Lam Dong Provincial Police Traffic Police immediately cordoned off the scene to investigate the cause of the accident.

National Highway 28, spanning over 300 km, connects Phan Thiet, Di Linh, and Cu Jut. This route features numerous steep passes and sharp turns and is frequently used by heavy-duty vehicles.
