A heavy downpour left multiple streets in Nhon Trach District, Dong Nai Province, located in southern Vietnam, seriously flooded and brought the traffic on some routes almost to a standstill on Friday afternoon.

Preliminary information shows that heavy rainfall started battering Nhon Trach District and its vicinity at approximately 5:00 pm on the day.

About an hour later, certain streets, including Hung Vuong, Nguyen Ai Quoc, and Ly Thai To, experienced localized flooding. 

In some areas, the water reached a depth at more than half of a motorcycle wheel.

Notably, the Lo Ren sewer section along Hung Vuong Street faced flooding exceeding 50cm in depth. 

The sewer water spilled onto the road and nearby homes, necessitating residents to elevate their furniture to prevent damage.

The extensive flooding left numerous motorbikes immobilized and stranded in the waterlogged expanse, prompting many individuals to walk their vehicles home wearily. 

In addition, two cars attempting to navigate the deep floodwater on Nguyen Ai Quoc Street became stuck in the middle of the roadway.

Rescuers arrived at the scene and collaborated with traffic police officers to assist the car drivers in relocating their vehicles from the inundated area.

This flooding marks a recurring issue in Nhon Trach District. 

Since the onset of the 2023 rainy season, Hung Vuong and Ly Thai To Streets have experienced frequent flooding, severely hampering local travelers.
