The identity of the victim who died in the tanker truck fire on the Hanoi - Hai Phong highway, through Gia Loc district, was Mr. Vu Van Them, born in 1979, in Thanh Chan commune, Dien Bien district (Dien Bien province), driving truck 14C-200.85.
The injured person was the tanker driver, Mr. Dao Phu Thang, born in 1983, from Tang Loong town, Bao Thang district, Lao Cai. Mr. Thang was taken to Hai Duong General Hospital for emergency treatment by local people and authorities. Initial conclusions were that Mr. Thang suffered a traumatic brain injury.
Previously, at 9:20 p.m. on July 2, on the Hanoi – Hai Phong highway, through Gia Loc district, a car fire occurred. The fire broke out after tanker 24H 00262 carrying gasoline collided with truck 14C – 200.85.
Before the collision, the truck had no cargo and was parked on the road due to an accident. Mr. Them had placed a warning tree branch in front.
When colliding with the tanker truck, the truck turned around, and the front of the tanker truck separated from the gasoline tank behind, causing gasoline to spill out and catch fire.
The fire flared up fiercely, accompanied by billowing black smoke. The fire spread to the green corridor on the highway, causing a one-way traffic jam on the Hanoi-Hai Phong highway.
Immediately after receiving the news, the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department mobilized 4 fire trucks, 1 fire fighting robot, 1 command vehicle, carrying foaming mechanism and 30 officers and soldiers to the scene to put out the fire.
By 21:57 the same day the fire was completely extinguished.
From 11:07 p.m., vehicles were able to move to lane 2 to pass the accident site. By 3:37 a.m. on July 3, traffic on the Hanoi - Hai Phong expressway where the accident occurred was back to normal.
The cause of the incident is being investigated and clarified by the authorities.
