A public bus had
an accident earlier today when it fell from the 40 feet Skyway or elevated
highway. This happened while the city is experiencing Typhoon Juaning.
The Dimple Star Transport bus was traveling southbound of the Skyway in
Bicutan-Sucat. The bus was said to hit the railings of the skyway and
after few meters fell in front of the Schinkin Company.
Officials
say that the bus was carrying 7 people, including the driver and
conductor. The driver and a passenger died after being in critical
condition and the conductor and other passengers suffered injuries. The
conductor said that the driver was driving normally when a strong wind
swayed the bus causing the driver to lose control.
The
skyway CCTV cameras captured the whole thing and currently
investigating the incident. Luckily the bus did not hurt anyone when it
fell from the skyway. The MMDA was quick to respond and cleared the bus
wreckage.
