A sleeper bus running from north-central Nghe An Province to Hanoi collided with a motorbike and overturned in northern Ninh Binh Province, killing four people and injuring five others late on Monday night.
The fatal traffic accident occurred on a section of National Highway 1A in Ninh Binh at around 11:50 pm on the day, the provincial police reported.
The sleeper bus was driven by Nguyen Ngoc S., a 38-year-old resident of Nghe An, and was carrying about 30 passengers from the north-central province’s Do Luong District to Hanoi.
It overturned after hitting a motorbike ridden by Vu Minh T., a 70-year-old resident of Ninh Binh, at the T-intersection between National Highway 1A and Tue Tinh Street in the northern province.
