On August 20th, the Tran Yen District Police (Yen Bai) continued investigating the serious traffic accident that occurred on the afternoon of August 19th on the road connecting National Highway 32C with IC12 of the Noi Bai – Lao Cai expressway. The incident injured three people and caused public concern, especially involving the BMW S1000RR motorcycle.
Scene of the serious traffic accident involving a BMW S1000RR motorcycle.
According to the police, the accident site is located outside a residential area, where the speed limit for motorcycles is 60km/h and for cars is 80km/h. However, the specific speed of the BMW S1000RR motorcycle at the time of the accident has not been determined. The lack of a data black box on the motorcycle makes it difficult to determine the exact cause and circumstances of the incident.
The Tran Yen District Police are actively consolidating documents and clarifying the cause of the accident to take strict action in accordance with the law. The accident not only caused damage to people and property but also raised an alarm about compliance with speed limits and traffic safety, especially for large displacement vehicles such as the BMW S1000RR.
Prior to the accident, the car with license plate 29A-371.xx, driven by Mr. Tran Tien N. (resident of Yen Bai City), carrying Mr. Nguyen Duc H. and Ms. Nguyen Thi L. (also from Yen Bai), was traveling through a roundabout when it was hit hard by the BMW S1000RR motorcycle with license plate 69A1-004.xx, causing it to flip several times.
The BMW S1000RR motorcycle was driven by Ms. Vu Thi T. (27 years old, from Bac Ninh), who was allegedly traveling at high speed. The strong impact injured all three people in the car and on the motorcycle, and both vehicles were severely damaged. Initial estimated damages are around 80 million VND.
A camera belonging to a household near the scene recorded the entire course of the accident. Accordingly, the BMW S1000RR sped through the intersection and crashed directly into the car in the roundabout. The strong impact caused the car to flip several times, deforming the body, while the BMW S1000RR motorcycle was also heavily damaged in the front.
The accident has attracted the attention of the online community, with many people searching for and downloading images of the BMW S1000RR related to the incident to follow the information and share it on social media.
