At around 7am, at Tran Hung Dao bridge area (Phan Thiet ward), strong currents caused anchored fishing boats to break their ropes and drift downstream.

People living along the river discovered it in time, informed the ship owner and mobilized a boat to tow the boat to safety. Meanwhile, three boat boats anchored near the foot of the bridge were submerged.

Near the foot of Tran Hung Dao bridge, there were 3 baskets of bottles submerged.
