A Russian tourist was rushed to hospital after a serious traffic accident on Luong Son Pass, a winding mountain road near Nha Trang, on November 13.

At approximately 11:35 a.m., the Khanh Hoa Province Emergency Medical Service (115) received a request for urgent medical assistance following a traffic accident on the pass.

The victim, identified by his initials M.A.V., is a 23-year-old Russian national.

According to preliminary information, he lost control of his vehicle while navigating a bend and crashed into a roadside barrier.

The collision caused severe injuries to his right arm, including extensive muscle and blood vessel damage and bone fractures, leaving his forearm visibly deformed.

Immediately after receiving the emergency call, a medical response team was dispatched to the scene.

Upon examination, paramedics found that the tourist had suffered significant blood loss, with pale skin and mucous membranes and cold sweating.

The team quickly administered emergency treatment, including temporary bleeding control, compression bandaging, pain relief and immobilization of the fractured bones.

After receiving first aid, the patient was transported to hospital for further assessment and specialized treatment.

Luong Son Pass is known for its winding terrain, sharp bends, steep gradients and limited visibility, making it particularly challenging for motorists.

Following the accident, the Khanh Hoa Emergency Medical Service urged road users to reduce speed when traveling uphill or downhill, maintain safe distances, stay in their designated lanes and avoid overtaking on blind curves.

Motorists were also advised to inspect their brakes and tires before traveling, refrain from using mobile phones while driving and avoid driving when tired, drowsy or under the influence of alcohol.
