An incident occurred around 7:30 on October 2, involving a group of workers constructing residential road D7 in Thuan Giao residential area, Thuan Giao ward.
During his work, a 42-year-old seasonal worker, operating a dust blower on the road surface, was struck from behind by a road roller. The impact caused him to fall, and the roller's wheels subsequently ran over him. Onlookers quickly alerted the driver and removed the victim, but he had already succumbed to his injuries.
