Gia Lai traffic accident results in death of three-year-old girl

A three-year-old girl died following a collision with a pickup truck in Kon Gang Commune, Gia Lai Province. The accident occurred on October 18 at approximately 3:50 PM on Provincial Road 670B. According to initial investigations, the driver, Nguyen Dinh Khanh, was attempting to change lanes from left to right when the vehicle struck the child, who was walking near the edge of the road. Authorities confirmed the driver held a Class C license and tested negative for alcohol and drugs; the incident is attributed to a failure to observe the surroundings while changing lanes.

In a separate traffic enforcement matter in Ia Ko Commune, Gia Lai, two individuals were fined 16.5 million VND after a video of a traffic violation was posted on TikTok. A woman was filmed operating a Kawasaki Z1000 motorcycle without a helmet and without the appropriate driver's license. The owner of the vehicle was also penalized for allowing an unqualified person to operate the motorcycle.
