"The accident did not cause any casualties, however, vehicles traveling from Mai Dich overpass to Thanh Tri bridge encountered difficulties. Traffic jams also occurred in the opposite direction because many curious road users slowed down to observe the accident. The Traffic Police Department has notified Traffic Police Teams 6 and 7 to proactively divert traffic to a reasonable route to avoid congestion," said a representative of Road Traffic Police Team 14.

Currently, Road Traffic Police Team No. 14 (Traffic Police Department of Hanoi City Police) has handed over the case to Hoang Mai District Police to continue investigating and clarifying the cause of the accident.
