On October 20, a representative of the Highway Traffic Control Patrol Team (Team 1), Traffic Police Department, Ministry of Public Security said that the unit is investigating the image of a 16-seat passenger car driver forcing a truck into the emergency lane on the Noi Bai - Lao Cai highway.

On the same day, a clip was circulated on social media recording the image of a 16-seat passenger van forcing a truck into the emergency lane on the Noi Bai - Lao Cai highway.

According to the images in the clip, the incident occurred at 12:42 on October 19 at km23 on the Noi Bai - Lao Cai highway (from Noi Bai airport to Lao Cai, in Vinh Phuc province).

At this time, a closed-body truck was traveling when a 16-seat passenger bus approached at high speed, forcing the truck into the emergency lane of the highway.

Although the truck driver tried to steer left to leave the emergency lane, the bus driver did not yield. The bus driver even braked hard and continued to steer right to force the truck driver to stop.

The pickup truck driver’s behavior was recorded by another vehicle’s dash cam. The clip, after being posted on social media, received many comments from the online community.

Most comments expressed indignation and anger at the behavior of the 16-seat car driver and asked the authorities to quickly verify and severely punish him.
