On June 18th, leaders of Bao Loc City ( Lam Dong province ) reported that heavy rain on the night of June 17th caused a retaining wall to collapse at a sheet metal rolling factory in Anh Mai 1 hamlet, Loc Chau commune (Bao Loc City), burying a sleeping couple. The husband died, and the wife was injured.
Rescue teams search for victims throughout the night.
According to initial information, the landslide occurred at approximately 11 PM on June 17th at the sheet metal rolling workshop of Mr. Nghiem Dinh Q.'s family (686 National Highway 20, Anh Mai 1 Hamlet, Loc Chau Commune, Bao Loc City).
The landslide caused a mass of earth and rocks, approximately 8 meters high, from the embankment behind the house to collapse onto two bedrooms below. The earth and rocks completely buried the room where Mr. Nghiem Dinh Q. (40 years old) and his wife, Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Lan (35 years old), were sleeping.

However, Mr. Q. had already died, while Ms. Lan suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. The couple's two children and Ms. Lan's mother, who were sleeping in the adjacent room, managed to escape safely.
The house where the landslide occurred had been rented by Mr. and Mrs. Q. for many years to use as a sheet metal rolling workshop.
The landslide, stretching over 40 meters and approximately 8 meters high, also caused the collapse and burial of many belongings in two karaoke rooms belonging to Mr. Truong Dang's family, next to Mr. Q's house. The landslide also affected about 15 households in the area. Of these, 5 households were seriously threatened, with their houses and property at risk of collapsing at any moment.
