Seven Die in Vietnam Bus Fire After Driver Confesses Drowsiness

A sleeper bus that was involved in a collision in Vietnam caught fire, resulting in the deaths of seven passengers. The incident occurred after the vehicle struck a barrier on a highway, causing a severe impact and subsequent blaze.
The driver of the bus has admitted that he was drowsy at the time of the accident, a factor that authorities say may have contributed to the crash. Police are conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, but the intensity of the fire made rescue operations difficult. The bodies of the deceased were later recovered by the authorities.
The incident has raised concerns about driver fatigue and road safety on Vietnam’s highways. Officials have urged stricter enforcement of rest periods for long‑haul drivers.
No further casualties have been reported beyond the seven fatalities, and the investigation is ongoing.
