In 24 hours until yesterday evening there were six major accidents around the country in which eight people were killed, including three children.

Yesterday afternoon, on National Highway 1A in Binh Tan District, Ho Chi Minh City, a tanker travelling in the wrong lane hit a motorbike driven by Nguyen Van Chung. 

His wife, Nguyen Thi My Luon, and son, Nguyen Van Bin, fell on the road and were run over by the truck.

The driver, Le Hong Khanh, 24, helped take them to the nearby Van Phuoc General Clinic, but they were declared dead on arrival.

“The woman was run over on her chest while the boy was severely injured in the head and legs,” a nurse, Le Duc Duong, said. “They may have died on the way here.”

The victims belonged to Hung Dien commune, Tan Hung District in neighboring Long An Province.

Earlier, on Sunday night, a concrete pillar left behind after some construction in the Rach Cam River in Can Tho fell on a small boat carrying bricks, sinking it.

On board were Duong Dac Thang, 42, of Vinh Long province, and his wife and daughter Pham Thi Bich Hanh, 39, and Duong Thi Diem Hang, 10. 

Hanh and Hang were carried away by strong currents and local rescue workers found their bodies yesterday morning.

The local police said the column was badly eroded.

Yesterday morning a stationary truck that was being repaired on National Highway 1A in Thang Binh District in the central Quang Nam Province was hit from by another truck.

Evan as the police were working at the scene, another collision occurred 200 meters away between a truck and a container trailer, injuring one of the drivers.

At 10 pm yesterday two young men were killed in a major accident on National Highway 1A in Ben Luc District, Long An province.
