ĐẮK LẮK — Two farmers in the Western Highland province of Đắk Lắk lost their lives when taking shelter from the rain beneath a tractor.

The incident occurred on Tuesday in Cư M'lan Commune, Ea Súp District, where six farmers were harvesting cassava, when a sudden downpour forced them to seek cover beneath a parked tractor.

The tractor suddenly started, causing panic among the group. While four managed to escape, 28-year-old Nguyễn Văn Khánh and 27-year-old Lục Thị Háo were tragically run over and killed.

Ea Súp District's police are taking statements from the tractor driver and other witnesses to determine the exact cause of the incident.
