Mr. Le Minh Thu - Head of the Department of Culture and Society of Yen Khuong Commune - said that at the time of the incident, the two injured victims had many serious landslides on the road from Yen Khuong Commune Health Station to Xang Hang Village after heavy rain and floods caused by Storm No. 5, so cars could not pass through. From this village to the commune health station is nearly 10km.

To promptly take the two victims to Lang Chanh Regional General Hospital, officers from Yen Khuong Border Guard Station and local people used stretchers to walk through many landslides on the road to reach the car to take them to the emergency room.
