(Baonghean.vn) - While bathing with his two daughters and a young child at Bara Do Luong dam, Nguyen Van Toan, a resident of Dong Son commune, fell into a deep sand hole and died.

On the afternoon of June 28, in the downstream area of ​​Bara Do Luong dam, which has been dubbed "Cua Lo of Do Luong" in recent days, a tragic drowning incident occurred.

The victim was Nguyen Van Toan, born in 1977, a cadastral officer of Luu Son commune, residing in hamlet 5, Dong Son commune (Do Luong).

Before drowning, Toan and his three children were bathing at Bara Dam, including two of his daughters (one in 6th grade and one in 1st grade). While bathing, Toan and his three children were stranded in a sand pit more than 2m deep and about 10m in diameter. At that time, Toan sank first. People from afar saw him and jumped in to save the three children.

When the three children were brought to shore, one of the two children, Toan's daughter, immediately said "my dad is still alive", but at that time Toan had already sunk deep under the water.

A moment later, people recovered Toan's body.

In the area where Mr. Toan had his accident, hundreds of people came to cool off every afternoon during the recent hot days. Swimming in the river in this area is very dangerous because there is always a potential risk of drowning. A few days earlier, on the Lam River through Thanh Tuong Commune, Thanh Chuong District, 3 students also died while swimming in the Lam River in the afternoon.
