A woman has died while her father and younger brother fell into a coma after they slept in the family's car on Thursday evening.
The accident occurred in the northern city of Hai Phong's An Lao District on the evening of June 1 when Pham Minh Hang, 20, her younger brother Pham Ngoc Khanh, 15, and their father Pham Van Thuy, 49, came to sleep in a car in their garage after the power was cut in the area. As it was a very hot night, they decided to seek cool air sleeping in their car.
Her mother, Le Thi Ly came to the car to call them as power returned at 3.15 am on June 2 to find all of them in a coma.
The three were rushed to the Kien An District General Hospital but Hang was dead already. Her brother and father have improved.
Many localities in the north are experiencing a severe heat wave with temperatures reaching 38-40 degrees Celsius. Power cuts have occurred in some areas. There was a power cut between 6 pm on June 1 until 3 am on June 2 in Truong Son Town.
Local authorities are further investigating the cause of the accident.
