A car with an unknown number plate hit a woman who was walking on the sidewalk this morning, causing her death on the spot.

The accident occurred on Road 212 which passes through Tiến Thắng Commune. The car left the scene after the accident.

Also on the same road, a collision occurred last night between two motorcycles, leaving two people dead and one seriously injured.

Initial investigations found that all the deceased were residents from Tiên Lãng District’s Bắc Hưng and Quang Phục communes.

Further investigation is underway.

In related news, a 16-seat car lost control and crashed into a road divider on Nguyễn Văn Cừ Street, at the section belonging to Hồng Hải Ward in the northern province of Quảng Ninh’s Hạ Long City this morning.

Eight people who were injured in the accident were taken to hospital but Đỗ Mạnh Cường, the driver, died due to a serious brain injury.
