Twelve people have been injured in a collision between a 16-seater minibus and a dumper truck.  The accident took place in front of the entrance to the Hoa Cam Industrial Park on Cam Le District’s Truong Son Street.

Witnesses said that at about 3:20pm on Thursday, dumper truck 43X5-5376 smashed into the rear of minibus 92H-0569 which was en route from Tuy Loan Village to the Hoa Cam Overpass.  As a result, the minibus was thrown over the concrete lane divider of the 2-way Truong Son Street.  The severe collision reduced the minibus to a useless wreck, and debris was scattered all across the road.  The front of the dumper truck, which belongs to the Dat Tuan Company, was also seriously damaged.  Police officers from the Hoa Nhon Commune Traffic Surveillance Station and the Cam Le District Police Station arrived on the scene quickly.  By 5:10 pm the traffic congestion caused by the accident was completely cleared.
