A 54-year-old driver under the influence of drugs drove a tractor-trailer on the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway and fled for more than 3 km when signaled to stop by the police.

Closure of the national highway 51 access point to the Long Thanh expressway diverted traffic onto highway 319, causing extensive gridlock for vehicles heading towards Ho Chi Minh City.
