On May 10, heavy rain occurred over a wide area in Binh Duong. The heavy rain started at 6am and lasted until 9:30am, causing many roads in Binh Duong to be deeply submerged in water.
At Mr. Cu's temple area, the section bordering Thuan An city and Tan Uyen city, the water level rose. Many vehicles stalled and had to squeeze into the roadside. People said that this section is often flooded every time it rains, causing danger to road users.
On DT 746 road, the section passing through Ben San, Tan Uyen city, some sections were also flooded. Notably, there was a steep road where water from the alley flowed out and swept away a number of motorbikes. People near the scene ran out to rescue the victims.
On National Highway 13, the section passing through Lotte mart supermarket, Lai Thieu ward, Thuan An city, the water was nearly 0.5m deep. Many vehicles stalled and had to walk through the flooded road.
Mr. Quach Dinh Hung (residing in Thuan An city) shared: "At nearly 8am, I rode a motorbike on National Highway 13, through Lotte mart supermarket. Here, heavy rain caused water to rise up to the neck of motorbikes. My motorbike stalled and I had to walk a long distance.
Also on National Highway 13, through Viet Huong Industrial Park, Thuan Giao Ward, heavy rain and wind caused the traffic light to fall onto the road. Fortunately, people promptly avoided the accident.
Localities in Binh Duong province are compiling statistics on damage caused by heavy rain, and at the same time recording flooded and landslide areas to overcome.
