- Also during the same time in Nam Vuc hamlet, Do Thanh commune (Yen Thanh), an accident occurred, killing a 9-year-old boy (identity unknown) on the spot.

The cause of the accident was a tractor in reverse causing it to overturn and a pole fell on a child playing nearby.

- Recently, in Tan My hamlet, My Thanh commune (Yen Thanh), a tragic drowning accident occurred. The two victims were Nguyen Thi Phuong (13 years old), daughter of Nguyen Dinh Tu, and Nguyen Thi My (10 years old), daughter of Nguyen Van Quang, both residing in Tan My hamlet. The reason was that both children went to cut grass to herd buffaloes, then went to the edge of the pond to weed, when My slipped and fell into the water. Seeing that, Phuong jumped in to save them, but both of them sank into the pond. When people discovered and rescued them, it was too late.

The accidents are a warning bell about the situation of children in rural areas during the summer without management, which is very prone to accidents.
