A truck carrying canned beer was stationed along a street when it slid down the slope and crashed into many motorbikes that were parked on the sidewalk in Vietnam’s Central Highlands on Saturday afternoon.
The accident occurred on Phu Dong Thien Vuong Street in Da Lat City, Lam Dong Province at around 3:00 pm.
According to preliminary information and eyewitnesses, the driver and his assistant had just got out of the truck when the vehicle started descending the slope, leaving them no time to react.
