A landslide incident near the floodgate of the Chi River in Chaiyaphum province led to a dramatic rescue. Yesterday, five locals narrowly escaped death as the ground gave way, causing multiple motorcycles to fall into the river. The unexpected event occurred at Bueng Lahan (Yai Kaew canal), Nong Bua Ban sub-district, Chatturat district.

 

Volunteers from the Nong Bua Ban Subdistrict Administrative Organization and Sawangthammana rescue volunteers were immediately dispatched to inspect the situation.

 

The landslide resulted in a number of motorcycles falling into the water near the floodgate of the Yai Kaew Canal. The ground had collapsed into the Chi River, leaving a pile of soil where residents’ motorcycles were stuck.

 

Local residents recounted that three more motorcycles had slid down with the landslide and were submerged underwater. In total, five locals were present at the scene during the incident, one of whom, a middle-aged man, had fallen into the water as the ground collapsed.

 

However, he managed to scramble back to safety. All five were in a state of shock, helping each other to cross over to the safe side of the bank.
