Quang Tri: Body of woman swept away by flood found after 3 days missing

On the afternoon of November 5, Mr. Nguyen Van Dat, Chairman of the People's Committee of Huong Hiep Commune, Quang Tri Province, said that the authorities had found the body of Ms. HTV (born in 1993, residing in Gia Gia village, Huong Hiep Commune) who was swept away by floodwaters while crossing an overflowing culvert during heavy rain and floods.

The victim's body was discovered at around 12:30 p.m. the same day at the source of the Hieu River in Hieu Giang Commune, about 15 km from the accident site. The authorities and functional forces have completed legal procedures and handed over the body to the family for burial according to local customs.

The leaders of Huong Hiep Commune People's Committee visited, encouraged and supported the victim's family with 5 million VND. It is known that Ms. HTV is in a very difficult situation, raising 3 small children, and her husband does not have a stable job.

Authorities found Ms. V's body at the headwaters of Hieu River, 15 km from where she had the accident.

Previously, at around 4:30 p.m. on November 2, Ms. V. was returning from her field work and tried to cross the flooded underpass, despite repeated warnings from the authorities not to move through deeply flooded areas with fast-flowing water. While crossing the underpass, Ms. V. was suddenly swept away by a strong current; the person accompanying her was lucky to escape and was able to report the incident.

Immediately afterwards, authorities and local people made efforts to search for many days in complex weather conditions.
