Passenger bus crash kills two, injures two on Sóc Trăng bypass

A serious traffic accident on a bypass road in Sóc Trăng, Vietnam, claimed the lives of two people and left two others injured when a passenger bus collided with three motorbikes. The incident occurred early on May 30.

The bus, driven by Dương Khánh Vũ, 41, was traveling from Cần Thơ to Cà Mau. As it reached the Mỹ Xuyên ward of Sóc Trăng City, the bus swerved into the opposite lane, colliding with three oncoming motorbikes. The impact was severe, with two motorbikes sustaining heavy damage and lying on the roadside, while a third motorbike was thrown into a nearby field. Debris from the crash was scattered over more than 50 meters.

The two fatalities were identified as S.T.H.N., 39, and an unidentified man in his 40s. S.T.H.N. was on her way to work at an industrial park when the accident happened. She was reportedly seven months pregnant with her fourth child. The driver and passengers of the bus escaped unharmed.

Local residents reported that heavy rain had made the road surface slippery at the time of the accident. One witness suggested the bus may have skidded and spun before the collision, possibly due to the driver braking sharply. The injured individuals were transported to a local hospital for medical treatment.
