A certain Mr.Quintal driving the Fortuner rammed the Trooper on the side causing the latter to fall on its top crushing the jeepney below.

He admitted he was going fast despite the low visibility and slippery road then he suddenly went 360º then rammed the Trooper.

Moron.

Sa TV Patrol, ang Fortuner daw ang bumanga sa Trooper.

Hydroplaning daw.

[vicoyski]

So, wala palang racing...

Grabe, irresponsibly speeding in the rain... It's so sad that such actions should result in the loss of an innocent life. In all probability, the family of the person that was lost still don't know that their loved-one just passed-away. Kawawa naman sila... :crying:

One person died and at least three people were injured after a sport utility vehicle on Tuesday afternoon fell several stories from the elevated Metro Manila Skyway system and onto a passenger-type jeepney.

Radio station dzBB said a luxury Isuzu Trooper (plate XDS-431) crushed the jeepney at the southbound side of the South Luzon Expressway, which lies below the Skyway.

The vehicle fell near the Nichols interchange and the Villamor Golf Course. A massive traffic snarl ensued in the area.

Authorities identified the fatality as Abner Bitaunan, who was seated at the back of the jeepney.

He was rushed to a nearby hospital but was declared dead-on-arrival after suffering secondary skull fractures and massive bleeding.

The Trooper driver, 25-year-old Randy Danlag, suffered multiple abrasions and was taken to the Pasay City general hospital. He was supposedly driving the vehicle to his employer's home at the Magallanes village.

Doctors interviewed by dzBB radio quoted Danlag as saying that he was sideswiped by a Toyota Fortuner sport utility vehicle.

Danlag and the Fortuner driver were reportedly cutting each other's path at the Skyway shortly before the incident occurred, highway authorities told dzBB.

Bitaunan's two companions, Roldan and Imelda Garcia, were also taken to the Pasay City General Hospital. They were seated in front of the jeepney.

The Garcias suffered cuts and abrasions, many of which were at their upper bodies.

The jeepney passengers had just delivered squash to Metro Manila market vendors and were on were their way back to Quezon province.

Police noted that a big portion of the Skyway railings was destroyed by the impact of the Trooper's collision.

The 35-km Skyway serves as a link from the Makati business district to the southern municipalities and cities of Metro Manila and adjacent provinces.

It is a joint venture of the Citra Group of Indonesia and the government owned and controlled firm Philippine National Construction Corp.-GMANews.TV

southbound ito ... kasi ito lang naman way na may mahuhulugan na sasakyan din (Villamor, Merville, Toyota, SM Bicutan).

kawawa naman yung namatay, uuwi lang sa pamilya or papasok sa work ... tsk tsk tsk ... may the person rest in peace, may God provide comfort dun sa mga nasaktan

and the responsible person be brought to justice!


*** pauwi na po ako (praying for traffic condition sa ibaba skyway)

[Horsepower]

kawawa nga yung namatay. imagine pauwi ka na tapos bigla ka na lang mababagsakan ng sasakyan na biktima rin ng isang driver na walang pakialam sa kapwa.

[buraot]

family driver ata itong si Danlag. sorry ha pero may mga family drivers kasi na kapag wala ang amo sa sasakyan e grabe i-karera ang sasakyan ng amo nila. nakakainis.

anyway, condolence sa mga nasa jeep. freak accident. sino namang makakaisip na mabagsakan ka ng sasakyan? (parang naalala ko tuloy noong early 80's na may naglanding na eroplano sa ibabaw ng isang pajero sa slex.)

Yun na nga.......dapat ginawa na lang nila, bumaba sila sa sasakyan nila, at nagsuntukan na lang sila, in the middle of Skyway. Wala pang nadamay na ibang tao. Sa kagaguhan nila, may namatay pa.

Tapos umuulan pa, SHEER GENIUS!!!

[just4u]

kawawa naman ang mga nasaktan... lalo na ang nasawi... may he rest in peace... :sad:

[Horsepower]

yung iba kasi ma-overtake-an mo lang kala nila maangas ka na eh. Sobrang bagal naman. tapos pag nauna ka na, biglang hahabol.

[batang_raon14]

ibang tao talaga... rain or shine ang tulin ng takbo... yan tuloy nangyari... parang incident na naexperience ko rin noon ito.tsk

hehehe yan ang lagi kong naiisip kapag may nakikita akong nagkaka-angasang dalawang sasakyan sa kalye. i-parada na lang nilang dalawa (nang maayos ang sasakyan nila) at ilabas na nila ang sama ng loob sa isa't isa. lalo na kapag may dalawang kotse na halos tumigil sa gitna ng kalye at magtititigan (effectively causing traffic).

sarap siguro pag-untugin ng matindi ang driver ng trooper at fortuner.

ang iniisip ko lang e yung amo ba ng driver ng trooper ang mananagot sa mga pasahero ng jeep? kawawang amo. dahil sa kalokohan ng driver niya e nagkaproblema tuloy siya.

[Sarsi]

heard from the news in 24oras over the radio that the fortuner's driver is a certain KENNETH QUINTAL. is that Kenneth Quintal the one who writes at C! magazine (one of the editors)
