Sa unang lumabas na balita, sinabi kasi ng mga imbestigador baka daw nakatulog yun driver

baka dahil 165r14 lang gamit nila tire.

usually ganitong mga van is using a 165 to 195mm wide thread na tires diba?

so kulang talaga ang traction.

Crap! Misleading thread title, doesn't do justice to the victims at all. Pag nabasa to ng mga relatives or friends ng mga biktima, lalong mainis. IMO, this thead should be deleted or the thread title changed.

Baka yung TS ang nakatulog while posting...

FYI ABS-CBN news reports claim that witnesses in the area concluded that apparently the victims were sleeping because there were no heard shouts just before the collision. This is also the theory of the local police when the report was aired in TV Patrol last week.

So there's no apparent crap in the thread title but a high probable cause. The only crap I can think of is your comment. Anyway another angle is the vehicle was too old and unmaintained as it didn't have a clear grip of the road.

But I must say, you must be a lousy driver to run off the opposite lane without realizing it. Only a sleepy fellow would have done that. And another thing he was speeding on a low visibility rainy condition. Now if that's not reckless to you I don't know what is.

There was no report on that.

Actually not only in IMBESTIGADOR but other news reports in different channels, initial interviews of the witnesses would corroborate on the premise that the driver was probably on the verge of sleeping. Here are the strong evidences.

1. Driver was speeding under low visibility/slippery road situation. If the driver has the correct consciousness the % possibility of errors would not have been high.

2. Driver swerved on the opposite lane slamming on the warehouse. Again could have been caused by the road conditions which was a result of miscalculation on the drivers part besides the fact that the car was poorly maintained.

3. No screaming were heard just before the impact according to witnesses. If you are long driving and had no rest the previous day it will be best if you have at least 1 awake passenger to keep you awake. This is especially true in Night driving situations.

I will change the title to include allegedly until more evidences surface.
