The crash happened around 7am Tuesday, August 15, on Tran Hung Dao Street.
Police say the driver of a white SUV, Nguyen Minh Hoang, 50, from Quy Nhon was traveling at an excessive speed and he failed to maintain control of his vehicle when it careened out of control and rear-ended six motorbikes.
The photos of the accident clearly show damage to the right, passenger side of the SUV, indicating that Hoang was attempting to pass the motorbikes on their left side and the SUV quite possibly crossed the centre line of the roadway.
Hoang claimed his brakes failed but with the Toyota Prado he was driving that is virtually impossible with its anti-locking braking system, but in any case— the emergency brake would not have failed.
The damages also clearly suggest the SUV was travelling at an excessive speed.
Charges against Hoang are pending, police say.
