Hanoi Truck Safety: Fatal Train Collision Underscores Crossing Caution

“The train’s whistle blows, death comes calling.” This old saying rings true, especially for truck drivers who frequently navigate routes intersecting railway lines. Recently, at the Truong Dinh – Nguyen An Ninh intersection in Hoang Mai District, Hanoi, a Hyundai truck was dragged dozens of meters by a train due to the driver’s lack of caution while crossing the tracks.
