Authorities search for victims
Previously, at around 3:00 p.m. on July 17, 2025, D.VQ (born in 2006, residing in Hanoi ) and a group of friends went to the foot of the Phieng Luc hydroelectric dam to bathe. While bathing, Q. unfortunately got cramps and gradually sank. Due to the deep, wide and murky water area, the friends who went with him were unable to rescue him in time.
Immediately after receiving the news, the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department ( Lai Chau Provincial Police) urgently mobilized 16 officers, soldiers and specialized vehicles to the scene. The search work encountered numerous challenges due to the complex terrain downstream with many rocky holes, abysses up to 20 meters deep and very turbid water, limiting visibility.
With the highest determination, the Fire Prevention and Rescue Force closely coordinated with the local authorities, police and people to synchronously deploy many search plans day and night. By the morning of July 19, 2025, after nearly 48 hours of effort, the victim's body was found. The authorities carried out the necessary procedures and handed it over to the family for funeral arrangements.
This tragic accident is a warning about the potential dangers of swimming in dangerous and unsupervised areas of rivers, streams, lakes and dams.
