Ho Chi Minh City — A 23-year-old woman was killed after losing control of her motorbike and sliding under a trailer truck on Tran Dai Nghia Street, Binh Tan District, on Wednesday morning.
According to police, the accident occurred at around 10 a.m. near 92C Tran Dai Nghia Street, Tan Tao Ward, when the woman’s motorbike collided with a tractor-trailer carrying steel coils, both traveling in the same direction toward Vo Tran Chi Street.
Security camera footage showed the victim’s motorbike skidding and falling under the truck, resulting in her death at the scene. The victim was later identified as H.T.T.N, 23, from Tay Ninh Province.
A man riding a motorbike behind her also fell while trying to brake suddenly but escaped serious injury as a nearby truck driver managed to stop in time.
Traffic police quickly arrived to cordon off the area, redirect traffic, and investigate the cause of the crash. By early afternoon, the scene had been cleared and traffic resumed normal flow.
Residents said Tran Dai Nghia Street is relatively narrow but frequently crowded with large vehicles such as trucks and container lorries. Authorities urged motorists to maintain safe distances and avoid traveling alongside heavy vehicles to prevent similar accidents.
