Seven people were killed and five others injured when a sleeper bus veered off the road and burst into flames near Dong Nai City in southern Vietnam early Monday, Abc News reported. The crash occurred at approximately 2:30 a.m. The bus first struck one embankment, continued moving, then hit a second embankment before stopping.
Flames erupted from underneath the vehicle and quickly engulfed the passenger cabin. The driver, 41-year-old Tran Thanh Hai, shouted for passengers to evacuate. He said the fire spread too quickly for many to escape.
Firefighters took half an hour to bring the blaze under control. Authorities recovered seven bodies from the burned-out bus and transported the five injured passengers to a hospital. The cause of the crash and fire is under investigation, authorities said.
