Authorities in Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa province, investigated a viral video depicting an elderly woman kneeling in the middle of a road to plead with a man following a traffic collision. Initial reports suggested the incident involved a collision between the woman’s vehicle and a VF6, with witnesses claiming the car owner demanded 10 million VND in compensation.

Following an investigation by the Nha Trang Ward Police, the driver, identified as 36-year-old T. N. H. V., stated the collision occurred when the woman was traveling in the wrong direction at high speed. The driver denied making demands for compensation or legal action, despite social media reports. The woman reportedly knelt on the road because she could not afford damages, noting her husband was suffering from a stroke.

Police confirmed that both parties reached a civil settlement through mutual negotiation and agreed to resolve the matter without further litigation. Authorities issued road safety reminders to both individuals. The investigation concluded that the collision, which occurred around 5:30 AM on August 22 at the intersection of Nguyen Trai and Le Dai Hanh, resulted only in minor scratches and slight damage to the front left of the car.
