CÀ MAU — A serious car accident occurred earlier Friday on the Hồ Chí Minh Road section running through Rạch Thọ Village in the southern province of Cà Mau, killing one and injuring 11 others.

A seven-seat car was travelling from Đất Mũi Commune to Cà Mau City and hit a sixteen seat van running from the opposite direction when it tried to avoid a steamroller parked on the side of the road.

There were five people in the seven-seat car, driven by Trương Hai Nhỏ, 43, and seven others in the van, which was driven by Nguyễn Văn Trí, 36.

All the passengers were trapped in the two cars after the crash and later taken to the hospital. Driver Nguyễn Văn Trí died on the way, while 11 other are all seriously injured.

Another accident happened Thursday in the central province of Quảng Nam, killing one and injuring two others.

The two passenger cars, one 24-seater and one sleeper van, collided on the 14B National Highway at Đại Đồng Commune, Đại Lộc District.

Lương Quý Vinh, 27, driver of the 24-seater car died on the spot. Two other people in his van were seriously injured. — VNS
