The incident of a truck driver disobeying orders and dragging a traffic police officer on the street has caused a public outcry in recent days. This serious event not only violates traffic laws but also demonstrates a disregard for the law and directly threatens the life of law enforcement officers.
According to initial information from authorities, at around 10:00 AM on October 25, 2023, at the intersection of X and Y streets, in district Z, Hanoi city, a task force from Traffic Police Team No. 6 signaled for a truck with license plate XX-XXXX to stop for showing signs of traffic violations. Instead of complying, the truck driver not only failed to stop but also accelerated, dragging a traffic police officer who was clinging to the car door.
The incident unfolded in shock and disbelief among commuters. Many people recorded this horrific moment and shared it on social media, creating a wave of strong public outrage. The dangerous and reckless actions of the truck driver have been strongly condemned.
Fortunately, the traffic police officer who was dragged managed to release his grip in time and sustained only minor injuries. However, the truck driver’s actions were extremely dangerous and could have resulted in unpredictable consequences.
Immediately after receiving the information, law enforcement forces quickly implemented professional measures to pursue the truck driver. After nearly 2 hours, the truck and driver were apprehended while hiding in a deserted area in a suburban district.
At the investigation agency, the driver was identified as Nguyen Van A, born in 1990, residing in Hung Yen province. Initially, driver A confessed that he had used stimulants before driving, which caused him to lose control of his actions, leading to the serious violation of the law. The police are conducting stimulant tests on driver A to verify his confession.
The “truck driver dragging a traffic police officer” incident is not only a common traffic violation but also an act of resisting law enforcement and endangering society. Authorities are investigating and clarifying the incident and will handle it strictly according to the law.
This incident once again raises a warning about the situation of using stimulants while participating in traffic, especially for truck and container drivers – large vehicles with a high potential for causing traffic accidents. Authorities need to strengthen inspections, strictly handle violations, and raise public awareness of traffic law compliance, contributing to ensuring traffic order and safety in the area.
