At about 10:10, Nguyen Anh Tuan, 20, a resident of Phan Thiet, was killed following a serious head-on collision with a trailer truck running in the opposite direction.
The tragic accident was five kilometers away from the first crash, according to police reports.
The third accident, nine kilometers away from the second, occurred in Ham Kiem Commune at around 15:20 when Nguyen Van Binh riding from Phan Thiet to Ho Chi Minh City fell to the ground in a collision with another rider and died after being hit by a truck running in the same direction, the reports said.
The truck driver then fled before being seized and handed over to police by local residents, the reports added.
The fourth traffic accident took place in the evening on the same road section, killing one more, police said.
This highway section is notorious as a ‘death spot’ where lots of deadly crashes have happened.
One of them rocked the country when two passenger buses and a truck collided, killing 13 people and injuring 36 others on May 22.
