At around 12.00am the 29-seater coach en route from Vung Tau to HCM City rammed into the rear of a truck carrying construction material in the same direction.

Many passengers in the front were severely injured and they started screaming for help.
Dozens of police and rescue workers were deployed to rescue the panicked passengers trapped inside the wreckage.
The injured were admitted to hospitals nearby.
