While traveling on the road, Ms. T was suspected of getting lost, causing her motorbike and her mother and child to fall into the fields.
Immediately after discovering the incident, passersby and authorities quickly responded to the rescue and searched for the mother and child. However, rising water levels and strong currents made rescue work difficult.
By the evening of the same day, the authorities coordinated with the people to find the bodies of Mrs. T and her daughter and hand them over to the family for funeral arrangements.
