Around 10 PM on 28/4, an unidentified man and woman were traveling together on a Hanoi-plated motorcycle on the Southern arterial road, heading from Ha Dong to Thanh Oai.

Upon reaching Tam Hung commune, their motorcycle collided with a dump truck traveling in the same direction. The collision resulted in the immediate deaths of both the man and woman.

At the time of the accident, there was a thunderstorm, making the road slippery.

At the scene, the two victims and their motorcycle were found immediately behind the dump truck.

The cause of the accident is under investigation.
