Horrific railway accident in Lam Dong, 1 employee died on the spot, the reason for obsessing

At dawn on February 7, a tragic railway accident in Lam Dong claimed the life of a patrol officer. The incident shocked and raised big questions about the process of ensuring safety on the North-South route.

The fateful train in the night and the tragic death of the road guard

At about 0:40 on February 7, when the space was still engulfed in silence, the train with the number SE2 driven by the driver Le Hong Thai (33 years old, from Nghe An) was traveling in the direction of South - North. When the train approached the route of Km 1581 800, in the territory of Tan Lap commune, Lam Dong province, a terrible collision occurred. According to initial records, the train ran over an employee on railway patrol duty in this area.

The victim was identified as Mr. Nguyen Van Phong (35 years old), an employee of Song Phan road, Saigon Railway Company. The strong collision at high speed caused Mr. Phong to die on the spot, his whole body was not intact. More tragically, at the time of the accident, Mr. Phong was dedicating himself to inspecting the railway line assigned to ensure the safety of trains such as SE2. The sudden death of the railway worker right on duty left shock for colleagues and people in the surrounding area.

Overnight investigation and efforts to protect the scene

Immediately after receiving the news of the accident, the functional forces of Tan Lap commune and Ham Tan Traffic Police Station quickly arrived to block and protect the scene. Due to the special nature of the accident location located on the arterial traffic route, the professional units of the Lam Dong Provincial Police had to work through the night to conduct an examination of the scene and solicit forensic examination.

Mr. Nguyen Dac Vy, Chairman of the People's Committee of Tan Lap commune, said that the local government has closely coordinated with the railway industry to implement emergency support measures. Although the accident shocked public opinion, thanks to timely coordination, the operation of other trains on the North-South railway was not interrupted for too long. Currently, the victim has been handed over by the authorities to the family to take care of the aftermath. The atmosphere of mourning enveloped the small village where Mr. Phong's family lived, when the breadwinner of the family passed away forever in a normal night on duty like many other nights.

The real reason behind the tragedy and the alarm bell

Currently, the Lam Dong Provincial Police Investigation Agency is urgently accepting and clarifying the cause of the accident. What makes the public "shocked" and especially concerned is why an experienced patrol officer who knows the rules of trains can't avoid it in time? Was there an error in announcing the train schedule, or was it due to weather conditions and lighting in the area of Km 1581 800 that limited the visibility of both the train driver and the patrol officer?

The patrol profession, which is considered a profession of "walking between the line of life and death", always faces the danger lurking from huge steel blocks rushing away in the dark night. This heartbreaking incident once again sounded the alarm about tightening occupational safety rules and equipping patrol officers with early warning equipment. Just one minute of lack of observation or an error in signal coordination can lead to tragic deaths that cannot be reversed.
