VIETNAM – MARCH 2, 2026 Box truck driver carelessly reversed in a narrow alley and failed to notice a pedestrian directly behind him. An old man with a cane was struck and fatally run over. Doctors who arrived at the scene could do nothing more than pronounce him dead. The incident was recorded by a security camera.
The accident is a harsh reminder for all drivers and pedestrians. While drivers should be extremely cautious during reversing in narrow alleys, pedestrians should avoid walking directly behind large vehicles where they are invisible to the driver.
