Meanwhile, an officer handling the case said that working with traffic police, the bus driver confirmed that the incident happened on the morning of November 25.

The cause was that the passenger bus 19H-05344 was traveling in lane 1 on Highway 5, near Lai Vu bridge (Hai Duong), in front of it was a tanker truck traveling in lane 1, and in lane 2 there was a car running.

Because there was not enough safe distance when turning into the second lane to pass the tanker truck, the bus driver repeatedly turned on his turn signal and flashed his lights to give way to pass, but the car driver was afraid of speeding so he did not dare to pass the tanker truck and did not slow down to give way.

Every time the bus tried to overtake, the car would move forward as if blocking the bus from overtaking, causing the bus driver to be upset.
