At least 10 people, including two children, have died in a tragic bus crash in central Vietnam, authorities confirmed on Friday. The accident occurred in the early hours as a sleeper bus was traveling along a national highway from Hanoi to the coastal city of Da Nang.

According to a government statement, the vehicle veered off the road, collided with roadside markers, and overturned in Ha Tinh province. All the victims were Vietnamese nationals, with state media reporting that five of the deceased were domestic tourists heading to Da Nang for holiday.

Twelve other passengers sustained injuries and are currently receiving treatment at nearby hospitals.

One of the survivors told local news outlet Dan Tri that the force of the crash left many trapped. “The bus overturned… I couldn’t sit up as my body and my hands were smashed into the side of the bed,” the passenger recalled. Several victims seated toward the front of the bus reportedly bore the brunt of the impact.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has called for a thorough investigation into the cause of the crash.

This latest tragedy comes just a week after a deadly boat accident in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ha Long Bay, where 38 Vietnamese tourists and crew members lost their lives. Rescue teams are still searching for one missing person from that incident, described as the worst boat disaster the country has seen in recent years. Only 10 people survived.

The two back-to-back transportation tragedies have raised serious concerns about travel safety in the Southeast Asian nation.
