Two people were killed and nine others were injured in a tragic bus accident which occurred earlier today on the Phap Van-Cau Gie highway.



The 16-seater bus collided with a truck and was damaged in an accident in Dong Nai Province.


Tran Minh Thu, head of police unit No. 7 of the Department of Traffic Police, said the bus was travelling from Ninh Binh Province to Hanoi when it suddenly overturned.

It had earlier been raining heavily in the area.

At 3.30am on the same day, a truck travelling from HCM City to Binh Thuan Province collided with a container truck in Xuan Loc District in Dong Nai Province. The truck also hit a 16-seater bus moving in the opposite direction.

One woman died on the spot and 10 bus passengers were injured.

Also last night in Thai Hoa Township in Nghe An Province, a motorbike with three riders crashed into a 16-seater bus travelling in the opposite direction. All three on the bike died on the spot.
