Around 5 p.m., a truck carrying goods was traveling on National Route 28B from Da Lat to Phan Thiet. As it reached bridge number 4 on Dai Ninh Pass, located in Phan Son commune, the truck collided with two cars traveling in the opposite direction.

Nguyen Thanh, a driver who witnessed the incident, stated that the damaged vehicles blocked almost the entire road on a steep curve. This obstruction prevented other vehicles from proceeding, leading to extended congestion at both ends of the pass.

Authorities from Lam Dong province are currently managing the scene and investigating the cause of the accident.

National Route 28B serves as the primary connection between Phan Thiet and Da Lat. Dai Ninh Pass, which stretches over 10 km, is known for frequent accidents and is currently undergoing renovation and upgrade work.
