On 23/4, the Dien Chau Traffic Police Station, under the Nghe An Provincial Police's Traffic Police Department, announced the administrative penalty for the driver, citing Decree 168/2024. The incident occurred after 1 a.m. on 20/4, at an automatic railway crossing on the Cho Sy - My Ly railway section in Duc Chau commune.
