On the evening of November 7, speaking with VietNamNet reporters, a representative of Road Traffic Police Team No. 1 (Traffic Police Department of Hanoi City Police) said that the unit was handling a traffic accident when a crane truck crashed into the Long Bien bridge girder.
Accordingly, the crane truck with license plate of Bac Ninh province was going in the direction of Tran Nhat Duat - Long Bien market. When reaching the Long Bien bridge, the truck had an accident, the crane column got stuck in the bridge girder.
Witnesses said that at the time of the incident, they heard a loud noise and saw the crane stuck under the bridge. Part of the front of the vehicle was lifted off the ground.
At the scene, the car's windshield was broken and the front of the car was deformed. Many pieces of debris were scattered on Tran Nhat Duat street.
A representative of Traffic Police Team No. 1 added that the incident caused the bus assistant to suffer minor injuries.
Previously, in May 2022, a heavy, bulky three-wheeled vehicle passed right where the steel support bar was weak and rotten, causing it to break, causing a large hole about 60x80cm in diameter. The incident was quickly fixed.
After that, the Long Bien bridge management unit erected barriers at the entrances to the bridge to prevent three-wheeled vehicles, porters, and vehicles carrying bulky goods from going up.
The management unit also placed additional warning signs that Long Bien bridge is weak and under repair, and that cars and three-wheeled vehicles are not allowed to move onto the bridge.
