As reported, at 4 p.m. on January 17, Nguyen Ba Huy was riding his bike with his sister on the riverbank about 700 meters from home. While cycling, his sister's sandal accidentally fell into the river. She did not want to get down to get the sandal, but Huy immediately jumped off the bike and went into the river to get the sandal for his sister. When swimming to shore, Huy could not hold on to the bank because the ground was slippery. Tragically, Huy was swept away by the current.
