This vehicle’s driver died after an accident caused steel coils on the truck roll over his cab in Ho Chi Minh City

A delivery truck driver was crushed to death by 25 tons steel in a Ho Chi Minh City traffic accident Friday.

The truck came to an abrupt halt in the middle of the street after hitting the divider. Another truck loaded with steel then collided with the crane truck.

Chains holding down two steel coils on the delivery truck broke and one of the coils then rolled forward and over the truck’s cab, crushing it and the driver inside.

The 25-ton steel coil was lifted out of the cab two hours later but the driver had already died. One of the two people on the motorbike was severely injured but no other deaths were reported.

The accident caused severe traffic gridlock on Nguyen Van Linh Street, which links the Phu My Hung residential area with the city’s downtown, VnExpress said.
