A Korean tourist riding a motorcycle in the famous Vietnamese port city of Danang fell on the road and was trapped under a bus. Fortunately, a swift rescue was carried out, and there was no serious threat to life.

On the 22nd (local time), Vietnamese local media 'VN Express' reported that on the afternoon of the 20th, around 4 p.m., a Korean woman, Ms. A (32), who was riding a motorcycle heading toward the Son Tra Peninsula on Hoang Sa Street in Danang City, Vietnam, was involved in a traffic accident.

At the time of the accident, Ms. A lost her balance and slipped on a curved road. At that moment, a 45-seat large bus was approaching in the opposite lane, and part of Ms. A's body was trapped under the bus.

Fortunately, since the road was a sharp curve section, the bus was slowing down, and the driver who noticed Ms. A fallen applied the brakes suddenly, preventing a collision.

Subsequently, the local fire authorities, who responded to the report, used hydraulic equipment and rescued Ms. A within 10 minutes. Local media reported, "The woman sustained injuries to several parts of her body and was transported to a nearby hospital," confirming that there was no serious threat to her life. Danang city authorities have launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of the accident.

Meanwhile, the road section where the accident occurred is notorious for its sharp curves and sudden slopes. As traffic accidents continued in this area, Danang city designated some sections as motorcycle operation prohibited zones starting in 2019. However, it is reported that the section where this accident occurred is an area where motorcycle operation is allowed.
