According to initial information, the incident occurred at around 9:30 a.m. on August 31 on Provincial Road 433, the border between Toan Son Commune (Da Bac District) and Hoa Binh Commune (Hoa Binh City).
Speaking to a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, a witness said that at the time of the landslide, a person riding a motorbike was almost buried.
According to witnesses, the man was driving a motorbike from Da Bac district to Hoa Binh city when he passed the above location when suddenly rocks and soil from the embankment suddenly slid onto the road, causing him to be thrown far away. Luckily, he only suffered minor injuries.
At the scene, the motorbike was damaged, lying neatly at the landslide site, and the man was covered in mud.
Provincial Road 433 is known to be the only route connecting Hoa Binh city with the highland communes of Da Bac district. Due to the terrain, landslides often occur on this route, so people and drivers need to pay attention to avoid unfortunate incidents.
