Accident at greenhills near Promenade...

[kyle618]

ingat tlga sa area na yan... i usually cross diagonally kaya mas delikado... from the car park for shop owners near mcdonalds to theatre mall.... parang patintero talga... yes bawal tumawid there.

[laklak]

mahirap nga tumawid diyan. kahit na yung pedestrian lane ay after pa ng humps. Hahabulin pa rin ng mga driver yan lalo na pag nakitang patawid ka. mga inutil din naman kasi ang mga gwardiya diyan sa ghsc eh, alam na nga nilang mahirap tumawid doon sa area na yun dapat may tumutulong sa mga pedestrians na tumawid. Kahit ilang humps pa ilagay nila dyan, kung walang utak naman yung nagmamaneho wala din.

This incident has not yet been reported in the major newspapers. Usually, something like would attract reporters like flies.

this just ruined my night! and this even happened in broad daylight!! i thought it was during the night..

i couldn't let this thread pass without imparting this impt. message. Just two or three days ago i ran across an ad in the phil. inquirer about road safety. The project was spearheaded by an international group and is being supported by AAP here. The Make Roads Safe Campaign is an int'l advocacy promoting road safety esp. in thirld world countries. I already listed my name for this worthwhile cause. This is basically their slogan:

"Every 3 minutes a child is killed on the world’s roads. More than 95% are killed in developing countries.

Make Roads Safe is an international campaign demanding urgent action by the G8 and UN to tackle road safety in developing countries.

We need your support."

you can visit their website to list your name--sort of like a signature campaign. it will just take a minute: http://www.makeroadssafe.org/ or www.thinkbeforeyoudrive.com and find their link there.

Eto ang kwento sa akin ng isang friend ko who works in Promenade...

It happened around 3:45 pm which usually daw walang kotse yung area ng Promenade. The Toyota Hilux driver was driving in front of Promenade (yung sa may Starbucks & World Music Room) and turned left (yung street na papuntang Chillis) e pero ang problema, hindi ba 2-way street yun with only a rope tied to a pole dividing the lanes. So he immediately turned left so nag-counterflow siya. The Hilux driving crashed a Civic and may Innova pa ata kasunod sa likod. Sobra lakas daw yung collision kasi one of the cars was on the sidewalk na daw. Di lang alam ng friend ko where the mother and daughter came from pero namatay na daw dun. Tumakas daw yung driver. Tsaka wala daw media with only one police car and by the end of the afternoon, back to normal na daw.

Ang gulo no... iba-ibang kwento... from what I read in the previous posts, na-mention yung McDonald's... hmm.... iba story kaya etong sinabi sa akin?!

ganyan talaga ang buhay ....tsk tsk tsk .wawa naman

[oldblue]

tsk tsk kung imported-converted na used hilux yan kakatakot. dapat kasi itigil na pagdala dito sa manila nyan. may humps dyan ah, sigurado naman siguro mag-menor yun driver pero kung defective wala na nga fate na!

dalas pa naman kami tumawid dyan.

[nugundam93]

grabe ito ah. wala man lang media mileage to at least help catch the driver?!

[sirmykel]

gago talaga sana ung driver na lang yung bumangga o di kaya kung
di kasalanan nung driver. yung nagcovert ang mabangga.

[taptap]

Parang ndi nabalita sa mga prime time news....news blackout????

Sabi nga ng lahat ng nakausap kong foreigner na nag-byahe at na-destino na sa Pilipinas - halos lahat daw ng motoristang Pinoy eh walang pag-galang sa rights ng pedestrian na gumagamit ng tama sa pedestrian lanes at sidewalks. Dyan daw sa Metro Manila, especially. Kundi daw sila muntik ng sagasaan (deliberately daw, sabi nung iba sa kanila), nuknukan daw ng haba ng busina ang inaabot nila.

Pag dating sa pedestrian rights, IMO wala tayong kinalayo sa mga ginagawa ng motorista sa India, Cambodia at Vietnam sa pedestrians.

Ganun pa man, dapat lang lagi eh tumawid ng tama, maingat at maayos.

[mini_macky]

i'm just curious why people are jumping to the conclusion na may steering defect yung auto that lead to the accident? may formal investigation na ba or just hearsay? :confused:

[seonadancing]

Based on the assumption that nobody is stupid enough to accelerate on a crowded pedestrian lane, after a hump at that and not step on the brakes when the girls were crossing.

Pero bakit ganun? Pag ang tao nasagasaan sa pedestrian lane, kasalanan ng driver (which is right), pero pag wala sa pedestrian lane, kasalanan padin ng driver? Wala paroonan yung mga driver e, either way kasalanan ng driver, diba parang unfair yung ganun?

Ganun talaga, unfair. Dito nga kapag tinamaan sa likod ang sasakyan, yung nasa likod parati ang may kasalanan. Never mind if hatinggabi nangyari yun with zero taillights and zero brake lights yung nasa harapan!

Kahit nga sadyain nung nasa harapan na umatras sa iyo, ikaw pa din ang lalabas na may kasalanan. Ok talga dito sa atin, mababaliw kai. hehehe.

merong kinalaman dito yung sinasabing ...

yung driver kc bumunggo

reminds me of a news item several weeks ago (?) - lasing na hit and run sa edsa. kung hindi tumakbo yung driver, sino me kasalanan?

[Driv3er]

si Ramon Magsaysay ang nagsabinito diba?

But this should not apply to this type of accident where black and white naman kung sino ba talaga may kasalanan.

[kupaloids]

Galing talaga sa atin! Talagang sugal pag nagmamaneho sa daan.

Medyo OT, pano kung pile up ang nangyari? Yung tipong naka hinto yung 5 cars sa traffic tapos bumangga yung 6th car at nadamay lahat yung naka hinto? Yung 6th car ba ang may liability sa lahat ng damaged? TNX!
