On the evening of December 14, a representative of the National Highway 6 management unit informed Lao Dong that by 6:30 p.m. the same day, the rescue units had found 2 bodies in the landslide.
However, because the bodies were deformed, the identities of the two victims have not been determined.
Currently, rescue and traffic assurance work and landslide incident handling are taking place actively.
Previously, at around 14:37, on December 14, at Km124+300 National Highway 6, through Thung Nhuoi Pass, Mai Chau Commune, Phu Tho Province, a particularly serious landslide occurred.
Thousands of cubic meters of rock and soil from the positive slope suddenly collapsed, completely burying the road surface, causing traffic through the area to be cut off.
The dashcam recorded the moment of a serious landslide on National Highway 6, a video showing at least 3 people buried.
Immediately after receiving the information, local authorities quickly arrived at the scene, blocking National Highway 6, organizing the search for vehicles and victims, and ensuring safety for people and vehicles in circulation.
On the same afternoon, Lao Dong Newspaper reporters were present at the scene. According to observations, the landslide location is in a narrow mountain stream, with rocks and soil overflowing onto the road, causing complete traffic congestion.
Forces are urgently searching for missing people. At the same time, temporary roads will be built to ensure traffic.
