District authorities told the press that the bus driver, Nguyen Long Ho, had been driving at "a high speed" and had "lost control" of the coach.
Binh Dinh Province has donated $440 to each of the deceased's families.
In Vietnam, express coaches remain a popular, quick and low-cost form of transport, despite frequent fatal accidents.
Last month on Highway 1, three sleeper coaches collided, killing three people and injuring 17. In June, a passenger coach carrying 40 students and teachers on a high school vacation crashed into a truck, killing two.
