The car continued to hit a motorbike parked in the front of the shop, destroying the store’s glass door and cabinets.

On Thursday, a representative of the Cau Dat Ward People’s Committee said the patient has died, Cong An Nhan Dan newspaper reported.
Anh did not have alcohol in her system at the point of the incident, authorities said, adding that she might have mistaken between her brakes and her pedals.
