On December 18, a 20-year-old man drove a Mercedes car from Khanh Nam commune to Khanh Vinh town, Khanh Vinh district. While driving through the Thac Ngua overflow bridge in Khanh Nam commune, the car was suddenly swept away by a flood when the water was rising. At this time, the male driver and the man inside the car panicked and threw open the door to escape. The car was swept away by the water.
According to the local government, every time it rains heavily, the Waterfall Bridge spillway water level often rises. Therefore, the locality has placed danger warning signs, but many people still run through this area.
