A tragic drowning incident occurred in the flooded area of ​​Lam Dong.

Also on October 29, a tragic drowning incident occurred in a flooded area near the foot of Phu Long bridge, Phu Thinh quarter, Ham Thang ward (Lam Dong province).

According to initial information, at around 5:40 p.m. on October 29, Ham Thang Ward Police received a report that a girl was drowning at Cai River (at the foot of Phu Long Bridge). Police and other units deployed to search and rescue in the area. At around 6:00 p.m. the same day, the police and the family found the girl's body.

The victim was identified as NTĐ (born December 22, 2021). According to initial information, while the flood was rising, the family was moving their belongings, NTĐ accidentally slipped into the deep water area behind the house and drowned. It is known that the house of Mr. NV H (born 1990) and his wife VTN T (born 1990, the victim's parents) is located next to the Cai River, which is in flood season so the water is flowing strongly. The unfortunate incident occurred when the flood water level rose close to the doorstep.
