The incident occurred in the construction area of the Cai stream dredging and reinforcement project (Phu Chanh ward, Tan Uyen city, Binh Duong).
According to initial information, on May 10, heavy and prolonged rain caused water levels to rise in many areas in Binh Duong.
At around 8:00 a.m. the same day, Mr. V.V.P (36 years old, permanent resident of Long An, the driver of the excavator) went to the construction site to check the excavator.
However, by noon of the same day, his colleagues did not see Mr. P return, so they went to look for him. When arriving at the construction site, they saw Mr. P's motorbike parked on the bank of the canal, but could not find Mr. P anywhere.
Suspecting that Mr. P was swept away by the water, everyone reported it to the authorities for searching.
It is known that when he arrived at the construction site, Mr. P recorded a clip and sent it to his colleagues. But then his colleagues could not contact this person.
Binh Duong Provincial Police mobilized forces to search all night but still had no results.
As of noon on May 11, the authorities were still mobilizing more forces to search.
