It is assessed that two vehicles, which were moving on the road in this area at the time of the incident, fell into the "manganese mine" located at the back of the heap leach area due to the impact of the landslide.

Some parts belonging to the vehicles were also found in this mine, which is a deep pit and has been "sloped" to prevent landslides.
