15-month-old girl killed after car backs over her in Chơn Thành, Vietnam.
NEWS:
A 15-month-old girl died after a car backed over her in Chơn Thành Ward, Đồng Nai City, Vietnam, on the morning of May 19, 2026, according to local reporting.
The child was identified in reports by the initials H.M.K. and was born in 2025.
Surveillance footage lasting more than three minutes captured the sequence leading to the fatal accident.
The video shows a male driver entering the car as the toddler walks into the area behind the vehicle. The child is positioned close to the rear of the car when the driver begins backing up.
The vehicle then reverses over the girl.
A person nearby notices what has happened and raises the alarm immediately after the impact.
The footage directly establishes that the child moved behind the vehicle shortly before it reversed and that the car ran over her. It does not establish what the driver could see from inside the vehicle or whether he had noticed the child before beginning to move.
According to local reporting, people at the scene rushed the girl for emergency medical treatment, but she died from her injuries.
Đồng Nai City Police were reported on May 20 to be investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident and gathering information to determine how it occurred and whether further action was required under Vietnamese law.
No reliable later public report located during a subsequent search confirmed that the driver had been arrested, formally charged or prosecuted in connection with the girl's death.
The driver's identity has not been publicly established in the reliable reporting reviewed for this case.
The surveillance video spread widely on Vietnamese social media after the crash.
On May 21, local reporting said the girl's mother had encountered footage of her daughter's death circulating online and publicly appealed for people to stop sharing the images and video.
She asked social media users to respect the family's privacy and stop redistributing the recording so the family could grieve without repeatedly encountering the final moments of the child's life.
The mother's request became the principal publicly reported development after the initial police investigation was announced.
Some later articles discussed the accident in connection with blind spots around vehicles and the risks posed to small children when a driver is backing up. Those reports did not provide a subsequent charging decision or a final investigative finding in this specific case.
The available evidence establishes that the girl walked behind the vehicle, that the car reversed over her and that she later died from her injuries.
It does not establish from the video alone whether a mechanical issue, visibility limitation, driver error or another factor was formally determined by investigators to have caused the accident.
No publicly available primary police statement located during follow-up reporting provided a final determination of responsibility.
