Urgent search for mother and child swept away by flood in Son La

Authorities of Muong La district and Son La provincial police are urgently searching for the two victims.

Accordingly, on the morning of May 23, in Chieng An commune, Muong La district (Son La), there was a prolonged heavy rain causing flash floods. At this time, Ms. Cu Thi D (born in 1989) was riding a motorbike carrying her 2 children on the road in Muong La district, when passing a stream in Nong Hoi Duoi village, due to the strong current, both she and the vehicle were swept away. At that time, Ms. D's eldest child was able to cling to a tree branch and escape, but Ms. D and her youngest child were unfortunately swept away by the flood and went missing.

Upon receiving the news, the local forces of Chieng An commune, along with the functional forces of Muong La district and Son La Provincial Police, urgently searched for the victim. However, due to the steep and complicated terrain, many large rocks swept away by the water made the search difficult.

As of noon on May 24, authorities were still continuing to search for Ms. D. and her child, but only the motorbike was found, while Ms. D. and her child were still missing.
