According to initial reports, at approximately 2:45 p.m. on the same day, Train SE9 was traveling on the North–South line when, while passing through the Chi Thanh–Hoa Da section, it collided with a tractor carrying three men—a grandfather and his two grandsons—who were crossing the tracks in Phu Tan 2 hamlet, O Loan commune.
Upon noticing the vehicle crossing the tracks, the train crew immediately applied the emergency brakes but was unable to avoid the collision. The force of the impact threw the tractor off the tracks, causing it to overturn and sustain severe damage. Several parts of the locomotive and train cars were also dented.
As a result, the child T.H.T. (born in 2016) died at the scene. The other two victims, N.H.N.L. (born in 2019) and Mr. T.V.M. (born in 1967), suffered serious injuries and were quickly taken to the hospital by local residents. According to > Phu Yen General Hospital, both are now conscious and continue to receive treatment.
It is reported that T.H.T is Mr. M's grandson, while N.H.N.L is his granddaughter.
Immediately after the accident, the train crew coordinated with local authorities to secure the scene and assist with the investigation. By approximately 3:15 PM, Train SE9 resumed its journey after a delay of about 30 minutes.
The preliminary cause was determined to be a road vehicle illegally crossing an unauthorized crossing, violating the railway safety corridor. The incident is currently under further investigation by the relevant authorities to determine the exact cause.
