The clip "rescued the driver" in the incident of a tractor trailer being swept away by floodwaters is false.

Video : Flood gradually recedes, the damaged tractor trailer floats up about 100m from the accident site

The scene of the incident was located at the A Rong Tren spillway (La Lay commune). The tractor trailer was swept away by the flood and lay on its side in the middle of the river, about 100 meters from the spillway. So far, the search team has discovered some items suspected to belong to the missing driver, including: jeans, a belt, and car keys. These items drifted to the stream bank in Ta Rut commune, about 5 kilometers downstream from the scene.

Jeans, belt and keys suspected to belong to missing driver

Mr. Ho Van Hien, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of La Lay Commune, said that hundreds of people from the border guards, police, military , militia and local people are actively searching for the victim. The search is organized by walking along both sides of the river, combined with the use of inflatable boats in hard-to-reach areas. Despite two rounds of searches, the driver's whereabouts have not yet been found.

Authorities are searching for the missing driver after a tractor trailer was swept away by floodwaters while passing through the A Rong Tren spillway in La Lay commune, Quang Tri province at noon on November 17.

The search is currently facing many difficulties because floodwaters from upstream continue to pour in, causing the downstream flow to remain strong. The People's Committee of La Lay commune has coordinated with Ta Rut and Dakrong communes to expand the search area.

Previously, as reported by SGGP Newspaper, at around 12 noon on November 17, the tractor trailer with license plate 75H-007.xx was driven by driver NVT (born in 1977, residing in Quang Tri) from La Lay International Border Gate to the provincial center. When reaching the A Rong Tren spillway area, despite the warning barrier, the driver still arbitrarily drove the vehicle over, while the flood water was flowing rapidly with a water level of 50 - 60cm.

Flood receded, the damaged tractor-trailer surfaced about 100m from the accident site, A Rong Tren spillway (La Lay commune, Quang Tri province).

The car moved to the middle of the spillway when the strong current swept the cabin down, the body of the car was still on the bridge. The driver managed to climb into the body of the car and wait for rescue. However, at about 12:25, the body of the car flipped over and drifted about 20 meters from the spillway, taking the driver with it.
