Around 2:30, a tractor-trailer with a Quang Ngai license plate, pulling a trailer loaded with steel, was traveling on Truong Son Dong road in a North-South direction, from Ea Ly commune to Cu Prao commune. As it reached the section passing through Tan Son village, Ea Ly commune, the vehicle suddenly veered off the road and overturned.

The accident severely deformed the truck's cabin, spilling much of its steel cargo onto the road. Nearby residents rushed to help, extracting the two individuals trapped inside the cabin, but both had already died.

The driver was 41 years old and resided in Vu Bon commune, Dak Lak province. Authorities are currently verifying the identity of the other deceased person.

According to Road Management Area III (Vietnam Road Administration), the accident occurred on a left curve with a steep gradient. The asphalt concrete road surface was in good condition, and all signage and road markings were properly installed as required.

The cause of the accident is currently under investigation.
