(Baonghean.vn) - At 8:00 a.m. on May 23, a drowning accident occurred on the Hoang Mai River in Hamlet 11, Quynh Trang Commune, Quynh Luu District, killing two children, Cao Thi Linh (born 2001) and Bui Thi Anh (born 2000), both residing in Hamlet 4, Quynh Vinh Commune.

According to Mr. Ho Van Phan in Hamlet 4, Quynh Vinh Commune, early in the morning, 7 students from Quynh Vinh Secondary School went to Hoi Chau section of Hoang Mai River in Quynh Trang Commune to swim. However, while swimming, 3 students unfortunately slipped into deep water and were drowned.

Discovering the incident, Le Thi Huong - one of the 7 children bathing with her - ran home and called Ho Van Phan to come to this part of the river to rescue the 3 children. While Phan was on his way from home to the river, a man named Duc was trapping birds nearby and quickly jumped in to rescue Tran Thi Lien (born in 2001). When Phan arrived, he continued to jump in to rescue the remaining 2 children. After a while of searching, Phan found Bui Thi Anh and brought her to shore. Despite all efforts to give first aid and artificial respiration, Anh died from drowning.

At around 8:30 a.m. the same day, people continued searching and discovered the bodies of Cao Thi Linh. After the incident, relatives brought the bodies of Cao Thi Linh and Bui Thi Anh home to prepare for the funeral./.
