A taxi overturned multiple times after crashing into a fence in Da Lat tourist city in central Vietnam on Thursday, killing a one-year-old passenger and injuring her parents.

A 44-year-old driver was transporting the family of three from Hanoi on a rural road in Da Lat at around 11 a.m. The vehicle suddenly accelerated near a coffee shop, crashed into a fence, and flipped several times before landing on its roof.

The mother sustained severe injuries, while the father and the taxi driver suffered minor injuries.
