Initial investigation found the truck's driver had lost control at a turn, so the vehicle swerved to the left and hit the bus heads-on.
In a dispatch sent to the Ministers of Public Security and Transport, and the chairperson of the provincial People’s Committee of Tuyen Quang, the Government leader requested the Chairperson of the provincial People’s Committee, who is also head of the provincial traffic safety board, to mobilise doctors, drugs, equipment and materials for the treatment of the injured, while conducting necessary procedures for the deceased.
