Two people were injured and died from electric shock in a flooded market.

On the evening of October 31, Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Dien Commune (Hue City) Nguyen Anh Cau said that at around 12 noon on the same day, at Anh Xuan Market (Quang Dien Commune), an electric shock accident occurred, killing one person and injuring another. At this time, the market was flooded with about 50cm of water.

Before that, when the water started to recede rapidly in the area, Mr. Hoang Nhat D (born in 1985) and Mr. Le D (born in 1983), both residing in An Xuan Tay village, Quang Dien commune, went to the market to check their stalls. While holding onto an iron pole that was leaking electricity, both were unfortunately electrocuted. Immediately after that, people quickly turned off the circuit breaker, provided first aid and took the victims to the emergency room. However, due to the long distance and deep flooding, Mr. Hoang Nhat D did not survive when he arrived at the medical facility. Mr. Le D suffered minor injuries and is being treated at Quang Dien Medical Center.

According to Mr. Nguyen Anh Cau, at the peak of the flood, the Anh Xuan market area was heavily flooded from 1.5 to 1.8 meters. Up to now, many places in the commune are still deeply flooded. Therefore, the local authorities have not been able to approach the victim's family to encourage and visit their relatives. Currently, the commune has issued an order to provide rice, instant noodles and cash to initially support the victim's family.
