Road crash kills two foreign tourists in northern Vietnam
10 July 2020
A French woman and a Spanish man were killed in a road accident in Ha Giang Province on Monday.
The accident happened at around 4:30 p.m. when a truck trailer traveling on National Highway 2 from Ha Giang to Tuyen Quang collided with a motorbike driven by the two foreigners in the opposite direction.

The accident took place at a T-junction in Vi Xuyen District, around eight kilometers from downtown Ha Giang, local authorities said Tuesday.

The tourists suffered serious injuries and were taken to a local hospital. Pena Laigesia Alvaro, 30, died on the way to hospital while the woman, Moreaux Ophelie, 32, succumbed to her injuries at the hospital.

“The bodies of the victims are being kept at the provincial hospital. We are working with the embassies to notify the next of kin,” said Nguyen Duc Manh, an official with Ha Giang’s Department of Transport.

Road crashes are a leading cause of deaths in Vietnam, killing almost one person every hour. A total of more than 9,000 traffic accidents occurred in the first half of this year, killing nearly 4,100 people and injuring over 7,000, according to the National Traffic Safety Committee.

You mean in Cambodia or Vietnam?

Vietnam has many infrastructure projects completed, underway or planned, for example:

The Ministry of Transport will kick off eight important traffic projects from late December 2021 to early January 2022.

Pretty sure the cost of implementing Covid is pretty small compared to any other expenditure, especially in Cambodia where it’s mostly donations anyway.
