The trapping of a taxi when part of Le Van Sy Road in Ho Chi Minh City\'s District 3 collapsed has raised questions about contractor responsibility for safety.
Le Van Sy is part of a project to improve sanitation in the Nhieu Loc-Thi Nghe valley.
Project managers have explained that the contractor had temporarily resurfaced the road after installing drainage.
But heavy rain on Monday caused the road to give way under the taxi.
A truck was also trapped the same day when part of Vo Van Van Road, the Binh Chanh District, subsided after a contractor had supposedly "restored" it.
Many construction projects in HCM City remain without safety to ensure traffic safety although municipal officers have regularly fined offenders.
Sai Gon Vietnam Law Company lawyer Nguyen Minh Thuan said the taxi owner could sue the offending contractor for compensation.
