1. Panorama from flycam: Highway turns into a large stream
On the morning of December 4, the section of National Highway 1 through Hong Son commune, Luong Son commune and the area Km215 - Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet highway (Ham Liem commune, former Binh Thuan) appeared to be deeply flooded for a long time. The drone showed that the road surface was covered by water flowing like a stream, at a strong speed and spreading to many parts of the road.
2. Many locations were flooded nearly 1 meter, causing local traffic paralysis
The water level rose nearly 1 meter in places, making it difficult for vehicles to move, many drivers were forced to stop to ensure safety. Some sections were flooded so deeply that it was almost impossible to distinguish the road surface. At the time of recording, the flow of vehicles was backed up for a long time due to strong water pouring from the mountainside areas.
3. The median strip was knocked down and the road structure was damaged
Some sections of the median strip were swept away by the water, revealing the strong and continuous flow. This poses a potential risk of causing an accident to the vehicle if it tries to cross the flooded area.
4. Cause: prolonged heavy rain, water from the hillsides poured onto the highway
Due to heavy rain for many hours in the old Lam Dong - Binh Thuan area, the amount of water flowing from streams and mountain slopes increased dramatically, causing rapid and strong flooding even though this area is not a low-lying area.
5. Authorities deploy traffic and warn of danger
Traffic police and local authorities were present to regulate traffic and block vehicles from entering dangerous areas. At the same timeDrivers traveling through Binh Thuan - Lam Dong need to monitor continuous updates and choose alternative directions of travel.
6. The risk of continued bad developments
Rain is forecast to continue throughout the day, the risk of water rising again or continuing to wash away soil and rock from upstream is very high. Key routes need to be on high alert for the next 24 hours.
Fast-flowing water, damaged infrastructure and disrupted circulation are strong reminders that floods and rains in the South Central Coast - Central Highlands this year are more complicated than usual ️.
