At around 4:30 p.m. on September 24, three children, including Nguyen Le Huyen Trang, born in 2006, Nguyen Le Hong Nhung, born in 2008 (Trang's younger sister), and Le Van Quoc Dat, born in 2009 (Trang and Nhung's aunt's younger brother), were playing soccer in the yard next to Trinh Bat dam in village 3, Cao Son commune, Anh Son. The ball rolled down the dam. Dat jumped in to retrieve the ball and slipped and sank into the dam. The other two children went to save them but also sank.

A young buffalo herder nearby discovered the incident and called everyone in the village to come to the rescue, but only Nguyen Le Hong Nhung was saved, the other two children, Nguyen Le Huyen Trang and Le Quoc Dat, died.

It is known that Trinh Bat dam is under construction, and recently there has been a lot of rain in the area so the water level rose up to the gate of the family where the children live.

Upon receiving the news, local authorities were present at the scene to handle this unfortunate incident.
