The license of NEWPRO Production and Trading Joint Stock Company, the owner of the truck, was taken away for a period of three months due to violating Article 23 of Decree No. 86/2014/NDCP dated on September 10, 2014 on the conditions of transportation business.  

In addition, the company did not transmit vehicle data to the Vietnam Road Administration according to regulations.

The truck driver, Luong Van Tam, was found to have tested positive for drugs after the accident.

The company is required to return the licence and licensed truck badges and stop all transportation activities after the decision takes effect in accordance with law.
