Landslide strikes bus on mountain pass in Vietnam, killing 6, as heavy rain persists
Heavy rain triggered a landslide that crushed a bus on a mountainous pass, killing six and injuring 19, with rescue efforts hampered by blocked access, officials said.
- Late Sunday, a landslide buried a passenger bus on Khanh Le pass, killing six and injuring 19 as rescuers struggled through heavy rain.
- Heavy rain has been pounding central Vietnam after Typhoon Kalmaegi, causing floods and landslides that blocked highways and cut off villages along the 33-kilometer mountain stretch.
- The bus carrying 32 people from Ho Chi Minh City was traveling through Khanh Le pass when a landslide crushed its front, and rescue teams reached it only after midnight.
- The 33-kilometer mountain route is scenic but prone to landslides, with landslides on Khanh Le pass blocking access and disrupting travel during rainfall this year.
- Forecast numbers show localized extremes through Wednesday, with rainfall expected to reach 30–60 centimeters, and some areas likely to exceed 85 centimeters, complicating rescue and recovery teams.
