A motorcyclist died and three others were badly injured following a frontal crash between two motorcycles on Wednesday night in Quang Ngai Province, central Vietnam, authorities confirmed on Thursday morning.
The fatal crash took place on a road section passing through Nghia Thuan Commune, Tu Nghia District.
A local police division said that Nguyen Quoc Thoi, 36, a native of Quang Ngai City, was carrying Dinh Thi Do, 29, from the mountainous district of Son Ha to Quang Ngai City.
His motorbike then crashed into another one whose rider was Nguyen Thien Trung and the pillion passenger Tran Truong Hoang Tuan, both 27 and residing in Tu Nghia District.
Some local inhabitants said they rushed out of homes after being awakened by the crash and saw the four victims lying immobile on the street.
The two motorbikes were found lying on two different lanes and were some 10 meters away from the spot they collided.
The head-on collision left both motorbikes distorted, with many parts of the vehicles smashed into pieces.
The four were rushed to a nearby hospital where Thoi was fatally injured and the three others are receiving medical treatment.
