In the early morning of August 26, heavy rain caused a serious landslide on Highway 15C, passing through Tao village, Trung Ly commune (Muong Lat). A large amount of soil and gravel from the hill flooded down and blocked the road, making it impossible for vehicles to pass through this location.

Serious landslide on National Highway 15C through Tao village, Trung Ly commune (Muong Lat).

At 6:00 a.m. on August 26, because they did not know that a landslide had blocked National Highway 15C, many people and vehicles traveling towards the center of Muong Lat district or Quan Hoa district had to stop, causing a long traffic jam. Fortunately, the landslide did not affect the houses of households in Tao village, Trung Ly commune.

National Highway 15C being blocked by landslides in Tao village, Trung Ly commune, did not isolate Muong Lat district, because people can still travel via Chieng Nua bridge connecting Trung Ly commune to lowland districts and Thanh Hoa city.

Immediately after the incident, local authorities and functional forces mobilized human resources and machinery to the scene to fix the problem.
