The landslide ate deep into the asphalt road, causing serious soil and rock collapse, in some places nearly 1 meter deep, many vehicle owners were "heart-stopping" when driving near this area. Photo: QA

It is known that the cause of the incident was due to the continuous rain in the past few days, causing the water level of the Bung River to rise, hitting the negative slope, causing subsidence. With the heavy traffic on National Highway 1A, including many heavy trucks, the landslide could continue to deepen in the coming days if there is no timely solution. Photo: QA

Some landslides are only a few meters above the water level of the Bung River, so the rock and soil could be washed into the river at any time if it continues to rain. Photo: QA
