Four Koreans traveling in Vietnam died after the vehicle they were in was swept by a current.

According to the Foreign Ministry on Tuesday, the two men and two women were in Da Lat, the capital of Lam Dong Province, when their jeep flipped over.

The region had been experiencing heavy rainfall for several days.

The ministry said it has dispatched a team of Korean government officials to the site of the accident, adding it is also helping the families of the deceased to enter Vietnam and facilitate funeral arrangements.
