Landslide
buries train in Yen Bai
A landslide in the northern
mountainous province of Yen Bai buried up to seven carriages of a train on
the evening of October 9.
Seven carriages buried
by the landslide
The incident occurred at 7:30 pm at Lam Giang Station
in Van Yen District where the train had stopped.
Vu Quang Hai, chairman of Van Yen District People’s
Committee, said the landslide was the result of heavy rains some days
before.
Thousands of cubic metres of soil and stone buried the
seven carriages, blocking traffic.
Rescue forces were immediately sent to the site and no
human losses were reported.
Hai added Lam Giang Station has been temporarily
halted. Trains have to stop at Mau A and Bao Ha stations instead. After that,
passengers will have to take road transport to continue their trips.
Local authorities say it would take 4-5 days to clear
the landslide.
