MANILA
Fifteen passengers were injured in an accident involving two buses on the
northbound lane of Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue in Quezon City Friday
evening, according to the Quezon City Police District.
The accident happened in the northbound lane of the Edsa-Quezon Avenue
flyover at 10:30pm.
Valentino Obligacion, driver of a
Don Mariano Transit bus bound for
Novaliches, told traffic
investigators he was traversing
Edsa when something went wrong
with his engine, forcing him to shift
to a lower gear.
Traffic investigators said that as
Obligacion slowed down, a Pana
passenger bus bound for
Monumento, Caloocan City and driven by Simeon Salando bumped the Don
Mariano Transit bus from behind.
As a result, the driver and conductor of the Pana bus as well as some
passengers of both buses sustained injuries. They were treated at the East
Avenue Medical Center in Diliman, Quezon City. Most were discharged.
Salando told investigators that the driver of the other bus suddenly stopped,
making it very difficult for him to avoid the accident.
