Dong Nai, July 21, 2026: Seven people were killed and five others injured after a sleeper bus caught fire following a crash near Dong Nai City in southern Vietnam early on Monday, authorities said.
The bus, a long-distance coach equipped with reclining beds for overnight travel, veered off the road at around 2.30 am and struck a roadside embankment, according to state media VN Express. The vehicle continued moving before crashing into a second embankment and eventually came to a halt.
Fire Engulfs Passenger Cabin
Flames reportedly erupted from beneath the bus moments after the crash and rapidly spread through the passenger cabin.
The driver, 41-year-old Tran Thanh Hai, said he shouted for passengers to evacuate, but the fire spread too quickly for many to escape, the Associated Press reported.
Firefighters took about half an hour to bring the blaze under control.
