According to information on the motorbike taxi driver's app, the two victims took a taxi at Tan Van intersection to go to Bui Thi Xuan Street, Di An City. Initial determination was that the truck had encroached on the motorbike lane.

No one could have guessed that it was a farewell trip. The police identified the victims in the collision as Ms. VTS (37 years old, from Nghe An) and her son TBL (6 years old, Ms. S's son). Ms. S. has a husband, Mr. TVB (a tractor driver) and 1 son and 1 daughter, living happily in a house on Bui Thi Xuan Street (Tan Binh Ward, Di An City, Binh Duong). Ms. S. is a teacher at a junior high school in Linh Xuan Ward, Thu Duc City (HCMC). The boy was about to enter first grade, and was on summer vacation so he and his mother went on a tractor-trailer driven by his father.

After the farewell trip on the afternoon of August 10, Mr. B. lost his wife and child, and his little girl TTBL (preparing to enter 7th grade) lost her mother and younger brother. An atmosphere of grief enveloped the small house on Bui Thi Xuan Street. A few minutes before the tragic collision, Mr. B. drove a tractor trailer carrying his wife and child to Tan Van intersection (Di An City), then let the mother and child off the vehicle, and the husband continued his journey. Ms. S. and her child said goodbye to her husband and took a motorbike taxi home.

The car had only been going for a few minutes when it reached the traffic light at the intersection of My Phuoc - Tan Van and Chau Thoi Street (Binh An Ward) when a truck with a HCMC license plate crossed the lane, causing a collision that killed the mother and child. The technology motorbike taxi driver was only injured and cried at the scene.

Two days after the tragic collision, on the morning of August 12, the funeral of Ms. S. (37 years old) and her 6-year-old son L was held at a small house in alley 700/35/1 Bui Thi Xuan, Tan Thang quarter, Tan Binh ward, Di An city, amid the grief and sorrow of the family and neighbors. The atmosphere of mourning enveloped the once peaceful alley.

Since early morning, colleagues, friends, neighbors and even students of Ms. S. have come here to burn incense and offer condolences to the family. Amidst the white wreaths covering from the outside gate to the inside of the house, most of the people attending the funeral could not hold back their tears. People living in the alley are still in shock, everyone is heartbroken by the sudden and painful passing of Ms. S. and her child.

Standing next to the coffin of his wife and children, the man who was both a father and a husband tried to hold back his tears but could not hold back his sobs. Perhaps, he had never experienced such great pain and loss in his life. In just one afternoon, he lost both his wife and his young son who was about to start first grade. Sharing with us, Mr. Tran Van Tien (Ms. S.'s father-in-law) shared, "S. is my daughter-in-law who delivers food to her husband - her husband is a container truck driver."

Many relatives, friends, colleagues, and neighbors also came to offer condolences to the family and burn incense before saying goodbye to Ms. S. and her children.

Recalling the day of the tragic collision, Mr. Tien said that on that day, Ms. S. and her daughter went to deliver food to her husband when unfortunately they got into an accident. "That day, the mother and daughter went to deliver food to her husband and father. Normally, the mother and daughter usually ride a motorbike, but that day they took a motorbike taxi. The older daughter at home did not know what happened. When it was time to go to school, she did not see her mother come home, so she called her father and he said that her mother had been in an accident. It was so sad. The nephew was only 6 years old, had just started first grade, and had already prepared his uniform."
