Fatal accidents in Vietnam

Overview

A series of fatal incidents occurred in Vietnam during October 2026.

In Can Tho, the Ngã Năm Open Composite Boat Racing Championship was suspended following a practice session accident on October 9. A 29-year-old man died after his composite boat split in two while testing the vessel. Local authorities halted the event due to concerns regarding insufficient safety preparations.

Later in the month, separate fatalities were reported in Can Tho and Tuyen Quang. In Can Tho, a motorcyclist died following a collision with a car on the Nam Song Hau National Highway, an incident that also caused a transport vehicle to overturn and injure three others. In Tuyen Quang, a 27-year-old worker was killed when a fifth-floor concrete slab collapsed during construction at the Rap Thang 8 project.
