At around 4:30 p.m. on September 19, large rocks tumbled from a mountainside onto the road of Prenn Pass in Xuan Huong - Da Lat Ward, located in Lam Dong Province, during heavy rainfall. Initial accounts stated that at least three sizable rocks, accompanied by a significant quantity of soil and debris, cascaded down the slope onto the roadway at Km225+200 on Prenn Pass.
Several motorists had managed to spot the falling rocks promptly and either adjusted their driving paths to evade them or halted their vehicles, thus averting any potential collisions. Upon receiving the report, Traffic Police Team No. 1, part of the Traffic Police Division within the Department of Public Security in Lam Dong Province, promptly arrived at the site.
Their mission was to manage traffic flow, guide vehicles safely through the hazardous area, and collaborate with other forces to clear the amassed debris. At the same location, torrential rain on the evening of September 12 had previously caused a substantial amount of soil and rocks to dislodge onto the road, leading to traffic disruptions.
Earlier, on December 4, 2025, a severe landslide had occurred in the same area, effectively blocking the main road leading to central Da Lat. In light of these recurring incidents, the Traffic Police Division of the Lam Dong Provincial Police had advised residents and motorists utilizing Prenn Pass to moderate their speed, remain vigilant, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, and adhere to the instructions provided by the authorities.
