After 1 p.m., a male driver was driving a pickup truck on Vo Nguyen Giap Street, An Phu Ward, heading towards the Hang Xanh roundabout. As he was going down the slope of Rach Chiec Bridge, the car suddenly jumped onto the median strip, broke many trees and a streetlight pole, and then drove into the next lane.

The accident caused the front of the car to be deformed, the windshield to be broken, the front axle to be broken, and the engine block to be damaged. Many trees and lampposts were lying around. Oil from the car spilled onto the road. Traffic through the area was partially congested. After the accident, the driver opened the car door and walked away.

Traffic police arrived at the scene to remove the accident vehicle, direct traffic and search for the driver.

Hanoi Highway is the eastern gateway of Ho Chi Minh City to Dong Nai and Binh Duong , and is often crowded with traffic. A part of the route from Saigon Bridge to Thu Duc intersection, 8 km long, was named Vo Nguyen Giap on August 23.
