Steel coil falls from tractor trailer, crushes car in Hanoi

The truck was carrying three steel coils. As one of the coils was not properly attached, it fell off and rolled 10 meters away until it hit a four-seat car parked along a sidewalk and crushed the car to the point it was completely deformed.

There was no one in the car and there were no people nearby at the time of the accident, so no one was hurt.

As the coil rolled over, it also damaged the street’s surface.

Police of Thach That District are looking into the case.

Steel coils falling off trucks is not a rare occurrence in Vietnam as there are no mandatory requirements related to the securing of coils during transport.

Drivers often come up with their own ways to attach coils based on discussions with each other and their own experiences.
