Fatal motorcycle accident los angeles

The accidents that happened over a one-kilometer-long stretch of the highway in Kim Thanh District, Hai Duong Province, around two hours east of Hanoi, killed seven people between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Tuesday. The resulting traffic jams stretched 10 kilometers long and lasted until nearly 1 p.m. In one accident, a man was hit and killed by a bus. A driver was killed when two trucks collided head-on in another case. Five other victims were killed when they were waiting at a crossing and a truck crashed into the street divider, flipped and crushed them. Traffic police try to manage trucks on the 789 Bridge after the accidents, but the sheer number of vehicles made it a very tough task.

Local officials say that the population alongside the highway has been getting denser in recent years, and many people are creating their own crossings by breaking the divider despite being warned of the risks. On the 17-kilometer section that passes through the accident-prone Kim Thanh District in Hai Duong Province, there are as many as 17 unauthorized crossings and only five footbridges. "We usually block the crossings people open, but they continue to reopen them," Nguyen Van Huynh, director of the National Highway 5 management board under the road construction company Vietnam Infrastructure Development and Finance Investment Jsc (VIDIFI), told VnExpress. Vu Xuan Phong, head of the traffic safety division under the Hai Duong Transport Department, said that the best solution to prevent people from making their own crossings was to build more footbridges, but its limited budget has prevented the province from doing so. Dao Quang Lap, a resident of Kim Thanh District, said that locals … [Read more...] about Unauthorized crossings make National Highway 5 stretch very dangerous: officials

The crash of Soviet trainer aircraft YAK-52 in the central Khanh Hoa Province on June 14 was caused by a sudden loss of engine power, which forced the pilots to attempt an emergency landing on uneven terrain, Major General Nguyen Van Duc, spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, said at a press conference on Tuesday. Both pilots on board were killed. Yet Duc dismissed claims that all recent military aircraft crashes were due to equipment malfunction, saying bad weather was another reason. The crashes of a Su-22 fighter-bomber during training in the central Nghe An Province on July 26 last year and a CASA sea patrol plane in the same province in 2016 had been due to bad weather, he said.  The Nghe An crash killed both pilots on board while the CASA plane accident saw all nine crew members killed.  Duc pointed out that such aviation accidents are not rare in developed countries like the U.S. and Russia. In recent years there have been many fatal crashes during … [Read more...] about Deadly military air crash in June due to engine failure: defense ministry
