The incident occurred at 4:27 pm on Tuesday on a road leading to the Linh Ung Pagoda in Tho Quang Ward, Son Tra District.

After receiving a call for help from witnesses, the Command Information Centre asked the Fire Prevention, Fighting and Rescue Division under the municipal Department of Public Security, and the Fire Prevention, Fighting and Rescue Police Team in Son Tra District, to send two rescue vehicles to the scene.

When approaching the scene, the rescue commander determined that the victim was trapped under the rear undercarriage in a state of multiple injuries.

The rescue team fixed the coach, and used air cushion equipment and hydraulic jacks to lift the car's chassis, creating a gap to rescue the victim.

About 10 minutes later, the rescue team was able to safely bring the victim out and hand him over to the medical team. Initially, the victim was identified as a 32-year-old Korean national.

The cause of the incident is currently being investigated and clarified by the authorities.
