At around 10:00 a.m. on April 10, a suspension bridge collapsed in Lam Dong province.
According to initial information, at that time, a truck carrying 6.5 tons of fertilizer with license plate 49C - 049.52 driven by driver Dang Tuan Duy (48 years old, residing in Loc Chau commune, Bao Loc city) was traveling from the garden of household in 4 (Loc Phu commune, Bao Lam district) to Da Hang Lang village (village 5, Loc Phu commune).
When reaching the suspension bridge for people across Da R'Klach stream connecting the garden with Da Hang Lang village, although the bridge is narrow and degraded, drivers still drive across the bridge.
While moving, the suspension bridge collapsed, causing the truck to overturn into the stream. Fortunately, the bridge collapse did not cause any human casualties.
After receiving the information, the authorities of Bao Lam district, Loc Phu commune and Lam Dong Provincial Police were present to deploy rescue work.
At the same time, the investigation of the scene will serve the investigation, clarifying the cause of the fertilizer truck that caused the bridge collapse.
According to information from the authorities, this is a suspension bridge for people connecting the household garden with Da Hang Lang village, more than 10 meters long and about 3 meters wide.
This is a unique bridge serving about 60 households in Da Hang Lang village; at the same time, serving hundreds of households to travel and transport goods and agricultural products to the production area.
This suspension bridge is also damaged and degraded. Recently, people only travel on motorbikes and tractors.
The collapsed suspension bridge will cause many difficulties for people's travel and transportation of goods and agricultural products.
Accordingly, to get to Da Hang Lang village and production areas, people are forced to take a detour through Loc Lam commune many kilometers away, including a section crossing a narrow, slippery, and dangerous forest road.
