This evening (September 21), Mr. Nguyen Van Ky, Chairman of Lam Son Commune People's Committee (Do Luong District, Nghe An ) said that authorities are trying to search for a student who was swept away by floodwaters.

At around 3:00 p.m. the same day, Nguyen Thi Phuong T. (8th grade student, resident of Ngoc Son commune) and two friends were riding their bicycles across the overflow bridge area in Hamlet 2, Lam Son commune. Due to heavy rains in recent days, the overflow bridge area was flooded.

During the journey, 3 children were swept away by the water. Two friends were lucky to be rescued by local people, but T. went missing.

“At nearly 7 p.m. the same day, police, military , and local authorities were still trying to find T,” Mr. Ky added.

Previously, at 4:00 p.m. on September 20, Ms. Pham TT (born in 1986, residing in Tuong Son commune, Anh Son district) rode an electric bicycle carrying her two children across Khe Coc overflow bridge in Hoa Son commune.

Due to the rapid rise of the flood water, the mother and her three children were suddenly swept away by the water. The two children managed to cling to a bamboo bush and were promptly rescued by people, while the mother and her electric bicycle are still missing.

By the evening of the same day, the authorities found Ms. T's body.
