Traffic police said the five-seat Mazda struck the motorbike carrying a family of three at approximately 4:30 p.m. near a middle school in the city's Long Bien District. Both the motorbike and its riders fell onto the road. A man and a 2-year-old child from the motorbike suffered injuries but are now in stable condition.
Instead of stopping, the car continued to drive with the motorbike wedged underneath, traveling onto a bridge before coming to a halt near the Times City urban area. Witnesses reported the vehicle reached speeds of up to 80 kph while dragging the motorbike.
