According to the Lam Dong Province Hydrometeorological Station, in recent days, due to the influence of the southwest monsoon, the locality has experienced heavy rain and thunderstorms. On July 30, in Bao Loc City, the rain lasted from morning to noon. This is believed to be the cause of the weak ground leading to the landslide.
Due to severe landslides on National Highway 20 through Bao Loc Pass and heavy flooding on National Highway 55 through Loc Nam Commune's underground sewer, traffic through the area was cut off. Lam Dong Province authorities have diverted vehicles to Provincial Road 721 through Da Teh District and Provincial Road 725 through Bao Lam District to avoid congestion.
