Residents and police worked through the night to clear landslide debris after rocks and soil collapsed onto a mountain pass in Lam Dong Province, partially blocking traffic.

The affected section is located about 500 metres from Dai Ninh Power Plant. Authorities said the area is particularly hazardous because of its steep terrain, sharp bends and limited visibility, especially during night-time travel.

After discovering the landslide, local residents took immediate action by placing warning markers and alerting approaching motorists to slow down.

They also notified local police and helped remove several large rocks that had fallen onto the road, reducing the immediate danger to road users.

Emergency personnel arrived at the scene shortly afterwards to direct traffic and implement safety measures.
