Cars slow down and shield motorcycles amidst typhoon in Vietnam

As Super Typhoon Yagi battered North Vietnam with winds exceeding 160km/h, the violent storm wreaked havoc on the lives of those in its path.

Among the hardest hit were motorists, particularly motorcyclists, who faced an impossible challenge on the roads — trying not to get blown away by the treacherous winds.

In a post shared on X, a user captured a heartwarming moment of road users banding together to mitigate the danger.

During the super typhoon #Yagi in #Vietnam, many car drivers drove very slowly to shield motorbikes and people from the strong wind (because the strong wind trapped them on the road or on the bridge, they could be blown away if they tried to move).
