The victim who died in the incident of being swept away by water into a stream near a stone quarry was Ms. N.T.B.T (born in 1980, permanent residence at Phan Dinh Phung Street, Thanh Binh Ward, Bien Hoa City, Dong Nai Province).
Initial information at 20:26 on September 13, Fire Prevention and Rescue Police received a report that a woman and a pickup truck were swept away by water in the Suoi Sep area near the stone quarry in Tan An quarter, Tan Dong Hiep ward, Di An city, Binh Duong province.
Immediately after receiving the news, Di An City Police mobilized the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Team to dispatch 2 vehicles and 8 officers and soldiers to the scene to participate in the search for the victim swept away by the water. At 9:12 p.m. the same day, Ms. N.T.B.T was found.
The cause of the incident was determined to be heavy rain, rising water flowing rapidly on the road, causing the water to sweep away both vehicles and people.
Earlier, on the evening of September 13, heavy rain occurred in Binh Duong. The prolonged rain caused many roads in Binh Duong to be flooded. Some low-lying sections on National Highway 13 were partially flooded.
Cach Mang Thang 8 Street, through An Thanh Ward, Thuan An City, was flooded at points with water nearly 0.5m deep. Many motorbikes passing through here stalled, and low-chassis cars had to turn around and find another way to move.
