12mn Dec 2 Accident at Alabang viaduct

[froshie1]

Peeps ingat lang sa pagmamaneho lalo na diyan sa Alabang viaduct. Alam nyo naman sa atin pag may ginagawa eh hindi din ganun ka visible ang mga warning signs.

Meron bang nakakita ng accident na iyon at that time? Anyway, a good family friend of mine died he was only 21 years old! A very bright future awaits him but his life was taken away by a car accident. Ang alam ko lang his tires got screwed up tapos nagturn turtle dun sa alabang viaduct. RIP my friend.

I passed by the work site last night around 8pm and the place was lighted sufficiently. Kaya lang if you are in the fast lane coming relatively fast from the approach to the viaduct, medyo mahirap talaga maka-recover. But if you are driving cautiously, you can pass by safely because the work site can be seen far enough before you approach the viaduct.

Condolence to the victim/s of this accident.

Grabe talaga,- hindi nila maisara ang Alabang Viaduct dahil wala silang mailatag na alternate route sa mga sasakyan. Overdue na kasi ang repair nito.

Tapos, ginawa nila ang ibabaw, ng walang visible warning hundreds of meters before. Dapat, sa ibaba pa lang ay may malaking warning sign na. Isang malaking kag#g&han na naman ito ng ating gobyerno na dapat ay maayos na nagse-serbisyo sa ating mga taxpayers!

Condolences po sa mga pamilya ng namatay... RIP....

Yup, I pass Alabang viaduct everday, that construction area is actually a nuisance to traffic, but it is a necessary evil. I don't want to get caught in that flyover while an Intensity 7.0 earthquake rages on.

In fairness to PNCC, the work area is well-lit since Day 1, and there are warning signs as you approach the area. But as the previous poster has mentioner, you should approach the area with caution. Driving WITHIN the speed limit (MAX of 80 kph) should be enough precautionary measure.

Anyway, condolence...

Condolence.

di ba sya naka-seatbelt? or talagang na-total yung car nya?

[j_avonni]

Our condolences.

On typical philippine standards ng repairs, it was well marked naman...of course if you are running that lane at 120kph or more mahihirapan kang magdistinguish ng repair light and incoming traffic (from the other side of the road).

I guess ibayong pag-iingat talaga sa mga driver...pagsinabing takdang limit ng takbo...dapat sundin at hindi doblehin....

froshie you know him too? he was my blockmate back in college. good guy, that one. he amassed tons of awards, sayang talaga.

i talked to her mom & dad, and they told me the construction site wasn't lighted that fateful night.

[froshie1]

oo pare I know him. siya pa nga ang nag commentator sa wedding namin ni misis. napakabait na bata pare koy at napakaganda ng trabaho!

Anyway mga pards ingat diyan. Lalo na dyan sa Alabang Viaduct. Dapat ipaaresto lahat ng mga taong sangkot diyan sa Alabang Viaduct na yan. Panget ang pagkakadesign. Pansin nyo ba pag gabi ang hirap magdrive dyan lalo na kapag papunta ka ng North (ex from Alabang Filinvest going North - sucat, bic, makati etc...) hindi ganun ka visible ang Center island! Minsan muntik na akong bumangga sa Center Island nyan.

Passed by last night, the area is now well-lighted.

However, the sign (starting from 1KM away was just a small piece of board. They should have a much bigger board and the road should taper a hundred meters before the actual site....

RIP to the victim...

OT:
Caught a glimpse of a news report yesterday about a car accident along Zapote-Alabang road (malapit daw petron - wer ito?) involving a Honda Civic driven by a girl on her 20s. Past midnight daw nangyari. Nakita ko lang sa video na buhay pa yung girl ng pagkaguluhan ng tao yung accident scene kaya lang di nila mailabas dahil naiipit... kakaawa naman.

Any details on this?

The girl is the daughter of my mother's friend working in ADB. 25 Yo yata yung girl. She died din...RIP

sayang talaga, at first we thought it was a sick joke. but when we got there in the wake, ayun reality hit us.

The SLEX starting from the Bicutan Exit to Filinvest is really unsafe. imagine a freeway that has a bottleneck, tons of pillars and no proper lighting.

Friend din ng officemate ko whose mom is with ADB.... 23 years old daw.

[Josh0027]

I have to agree with you guys that's my daily route going to office. Lalo na pag gabi southbound walang markers ng center island tapos yung incoming traffic nakaksilaw ang headlights... yung pillars ng filinvest bridges isa pa din yan hazard... havent noticed lately kung sufficient na ang lighting. Only thing noticable is that construction area going on there.

Condolences to the families.

I didn't expect to read this here in tsikot but well, I just don't know if this is the accident of my godbrother, I'm thinkin' of going at his wake later. He's also a car-accident victim

[torque2006]

sir moderators, can you please erase the name of the victim? we don't have the permission of the family to discuss this matter here, that's why i'm not posting the specifics of the accident.

this is just to protect the privacy of the family, nothing else.

thank you.

sure, go there heightdeprived. tomorrow's the interment, it's the last day of the wake. i've been there sat & sun.

Name deleted.

[heightdeprived]

oh my apologies, I should have used the PM function instead. But as I have observed, the portion where the accident happened seems to be poorly lit, and as said, the rule of the hindsight were used in the implementation of the safety measures put in there...

[claRkEnt]

ibang klase talaga dito sa atin. kagabi when i passed by sa area, complete with signs and lighting na. They already have the notice 1 km away from the construction site and nagliliwanag talaga yung area!

hay buhay nga naman... kung wala pa na-aksidente di pa kikilos. Puro reactive, walang pro-active approach!
