A luxury Mercedes Maybach collided with a parked passenger vehicle in Ha Long City, Quang Ninh province, early on November 20, resulting in one death and one serious injury. The accident occurred around 1:10 a.m. on Bai Chay Street, near the Thai Ha Hotel, when the 25-year-old driver of the Maybach struck a bus parked along the roadside.
Security camera footage shows the Mercedes spinning before coming to rest in front of the bus. The front and left side of the luxury car were heavily damaged. Both occupants of the Mercedes were seriously injured and taken to hospital, but the passenger in the rear seat later died from injuries sustained in the crash.
Authorities reported that the road was dry and well-lit, with minimal traffic at the time. Police from Bai Chay Ward are investigating the scene, examining the vehicles, and working to determine the cause of the collision.
The incident highlights ongoing concerns about road safety in urban areas popular with tourists and residents alike, as well as the risks posed by high-speed driving on relatively quiet streets.
