The driver of a speeding long-haul bus refused to stop following an order of traffic police officers in Lang Son Province, located in northern Vietnam, and drove erratically before slamming into the back of a police car many times instead.
A video of the case went viral on Sunday.
The case occurred at about 1:00 pm on the same day on a National Highway section in Lang Son Province, according to the Traffic Police Department under the Ministry of Public Security.
At the time, a team of traffic police officers found the bus driven by Nguyen Van Giang, a 50-year-old resident in Bac Ninh Province, also in northern Vietnam, driving at 75 kilometers per hour, while the section allows a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour.

The traffic policemen signaled the bus to stop but Giang kept driving.
The police officers later used a police car to chase the bus and continued signaling it to stop.
However, the driver defied the instructions and kept driving the bus in a zigzag pattern and crashed into the police car instead.
The vehicle was later identified to have no dashcam and passenger transport contract as required. The driver tested negative for drugs and was not under the influence of alcohol.
Local police are completing procedures to keep Giang in custody and handle him in line with the law.
