On the evening of November 2, the People's Committee of Huong Hiep commune (Quang Tri province) confirmed that due to the impact of heavy rain, a woman in the area went missing after being swept away by water.
Previously, at around 4:30 p.m. the same day, Ms. H.T.V (born in 1989, residing in Gia Gia village, Huong Hiep commune) was returning from her hometown to work in the fields when she passed the spillway with deep floodwater.
Although there were warnings and propaganda from the authorities about not moving through the spillway when the water was flooding, Ms. H.T.V and another person wanted to go home, so they decided to cross the spillway.
"When I went to work, the water was not deeply flooded, but heavy rain caused the water to rise and flow rapidly. Ms. H.T.V was swept away by the water, the rest were lucky to get to shore" - Mr. Nguyen Van Dat - Chairman of Huong Hiep Commune People's Committee said.
After receiving the information, the leaders of Huong Hiep Commune People's Committee tried to approach the scene, but the traffic roads were deeply flooded and vehicles could not pass.
Currently, local people and forces are searching for the victim.
According to the Quang Tri Provincial Civil Defense Command, the recent heavy rain caused a lot of damage in Quang Tri province. Up to this point, in addition to the case of Ms. H.T.V missing due to being swept away by water, 7 people have died; 4 people are injured.
Floods also caused flooding in many houses, affecting crops and damaged roads.
