Also in the car: assistant coach Duong Minh Ninh († 48) and team doctor Doan Trong Tri († 29). They too died in the accident.
Only the 57-year-old driver survived, local authorities said. He was taken to the hospital with multiple broken bones. “The accident happened within 5 seconds,” he said. When the car was hit from behind, he could only look in the rearview mirror. Then the Toyota was already crushed.

Locals had tried to break open the doors of the car to save someone. But for the three dead, any help came too late!
“I was shocked by the accident. It’s a big loss for the club,” said club president Doan Nguyen Duc.
Oliveira had played football in Portugal since 2011 – most recently at SC Farense, who have since been promoted to the first division. Its market value was estimated at 175,000 euros. In January 2022 he was loaned to Vietnam, where he landed a year later with the first division club Hoàng Anh Gia Lai.

One of the two truck drivers was arrested after the fatal crash. According to the first reports, he is said to have tried to overtake the footballer’s car on the left. He used the left lane and noticed an oncoming truck. The devastating accident is said to have occurred when he swerved to the right.
