Two men were killed after the sedan they were riding went out of control and hit a column of the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) near the TriNoMa mall in North EDSA in Quezon City early morning Thursday.

Radio dzXL reported the the driver, initially identified as Jeffrey Mariano San Juan, died on the spot while his passenger died while undergoing treatment at the nearby Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC).

An earlier report by radio dzBB's Mao dela Cruz said the light-blue Honda Civic (WLH-471) went out of control, hit the center island of the southbound lane of EDSA and crashed head-on into the MRT column at past 5 a.m.

Both victims were pinned inside the car. The dzBB report said the impact compacted the car's front end, such that the bumper was pushed back up to the steering wheel line.

Rescuers had to pry open the car's doors to extricate the two. The unnamed passenger who was rushed to the VMMC was declared dead at 6:55 a.m., the report said. - GMANews.TV
