The boat carrying the assistant medical officer, general clinic worker, and a boatman is believed to have had an engine problem and overturned before getting stuck in a tree on the river bank, which caused all the MOH staff to drift, as reported by the MOH.

However, the assistant medical officer and boatman managed to cling to a tree branch near the scene while the general worker clung to the boat and was carried by a current of 300 meters before he managed to save himself by clinging to a tree branch nearby.

The villagers used boats to rescue all the victims who were found about one kilometre from the scene.
