A container truck burst into flames on Ring Road 3.

At approximately 9:10 PM on April 20th, a car fire occurred on Nguyen Xien Street, Thanh Xuan District (Hanoi). The fire caused a temporary traffic jam in the direction of Linh Dam - Khuat Duy Tien.

At that time, a container truck with license plate 14H-01410, towing a trailer with license plate 15R-04590, was traveling from Mai Dich towards Khuat Duy Tien, carrying a cargo container. Upon reaching the foot of the T221 bridge on the elevated section of Ring Road 3, flames suddenly erupted from the front of the vehicle. Seeing people shouting, the driver managed to swerve into the outermost lane and escape. He and other people used several small fire extinguishers to try and put out the fire, but without success. The flames rose high, engulfing the entire cabin, accompanied by several small explosions.
