A slice of a mountain alongside a National Highway 8A section in central Vietnam’s Ha Tinh Province crumbled Thursday morning, dumping 8,000 m3 of rubble and blocking traffic.

The mountainside, located about 7 km away from Huong Son District’s Cau Treo border gate, saw a 50 m section slide down and fully cover a 10m wide section of National Highway 8A.

The landslide has blocked traffic, preventing vehicles from going to Laos and districts like Vu Quang, Huong Khe and Duc Tho, and stopped vehicles from going towards National Highway 1.
