In a devastating incident that occurred in Laguna province, Philippines, a passenger jeepney experienced a brake failure, resulting in the loss of two lives and injuries to 15 individuals. The local police reported the tragic incident on Saturday.
The accident took place on Friday evening, around 5:00 PM local time, in Nagcarlan town. The ill-fated passenger jeepney was descending a road when its brakes malfunctioned, leading to a series of collisions.
As the jeepney veered off course, it collided with a tricycle, an e-bike, a sports utility vehicle, and a truck. It then struck a stationary private jeep and two motorcycles before finally coming to a halt.
Unfortunately, two individuals lost their lives in the incident. A 45-year-old man who was crossing the street at the time and a woman who was a passenger on the e-bike tragically succumbed to their injuries while being transported to a local hospital.
Following the accident, the driver of the jeepney was apprehended by law enforcement. Investigations are currently underway to determine the exact cause of the brake failure and to establish whether any negligence was involved.
Passenger jeepneys, known for their elongated and flatbed designs, are a common mode of public transportation in the Philippines and have been a familiar sight on the country's roads since World War II.
This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the importance of regular vehicle maintenance and ensuring the safety of all passengers on public transportation systems.
