Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Tuan also said that immediately after the accident, there were many phone calls to ask for information about the incident. However, he only replied that the forces are focusing on rescue and emergency treatment for victims, so there is no specific information.

"At that time, I was only reported by the brothers that among the victims who fell into the river was Mr. Le Xuan T., a civil servant of the Commune Economic Department (not the Head of the Department or Deputy Head of the Department as some newspapers reported) who was traveling with the car of a business when the accident occurred" - Mr. Tuan added.

Regarding the prevention of storm No. 3, the Chairman of Thanh Yen Commune People's Committee said that the commune had previously implemented prevention plans in accordance with the direction of the Provincial People's Committee. However, at the time of the accident, the area was not directly affected by the storm.

"In the report on the accident sent to the Provincial People's Committee, the commune only informed that there was 1 commune civil servant and 2 people on the car; in addition, 1 person on a motorbike also fell into the river. We also did not mention anything related to storm prevention" - Mr. Tuan said.

By the end of the morning of July 22, after the victims were taken to the emergency room, the identities of the victims were determined, 3 people in the pickup truck, including: Mr. Le Xuan T. (born in 1982) - an employee of the Economic Department of Thanh Yen commune; Mr. Tu Khoa T. (born in 1968) and Mr. Vu Bao L. (born in 1991) - 2 people of a business (all traveling in a car with the business name). In addition, there is Mr. Lo Van T. (born in 1985), a motorcyclist.

"Before the accident, where Mr. Le Xuan T. went and what he did, I had not received a report. The Commune People's Committee has not yet taken any action related to the mobilization of people and vehicles of enterprises" - Chairman of Thanh Yen Commune People's Committee added.

On July 24, speaking by phone with a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Tu Khoa T. (the driver of the pickup truck) being treated at Dien Bien General Hospital said that he, Vu Bao L. and Le Xuan T. were on their way to check some landslides when the accident occurred.

At that time, he was the driver, Mr. Le Xuan T. was in the passenger seat and Mr. Vu Bao L. was in the back seat. When entering the suspension bridge for a section, I heard a "phot", the traffic jams tilted and fell into the river.

"When I was in time to calm down, I drank a lot of water because a car door was opened, the water flooded in and the car sank to a depth of 7-8m. I found a way out and tried to wade up to the water surface. A few minutes later, all 3 of us were brought to shore and taken to the emergency room" - Mr. Tu Khoa T. said.
