But the truck driver insisted that the ambulance was the one that strayed into his lane.

I watch kamote riders in FB all the time. Cringe and educational at the same time.

When I drove on that road many years ago,- that part of the Quirino/Andaya HWay in Tagkawayan was the worst - lubak-lubak... And yet the vehicles were speeding....

There was a portion of the highway where one side collapsed and there was no warning/notice to the speeding motorists...

Very scary....

The ambulance had a dash cam. Truck driver is at fault. Sana di na lang sila nag-overtake dun sa kotse. Kung di naman nasapul yung ambulansya, yung bahay naman ang naararo nya.

But but its a Pajero not a Monstero...

Isang Mitsubishi Pajero ang bumangga sa isang 24 hours convenient store sa Francisco Homes 1 CSJDM Bulacan.
Ayon sa driver, nag-wild daw ang sasakyan. Isang motorsiklo din ang pumailalim dito. Wala naman nasaktan sa nasabing insidente.

from the video in the other thread,
it would appear that the big truck swung over to the oncoming ambulance's lane to overtake a tricycle, resulting in the head-on collision.

The police should immediately give this report. How many days do they need to finalize the report?

parang final destination lang eh.. ngayon lang natin masasabi na sana hindi sya nag overtake dun sa kotse... no one knows the future.. so final destination nga..

not looking yung truck eh kasi nasa linya naman sila pareho tapos bigla nya kinabig para unahan yung trike.. tapos sa interview sa truck driver, siya daw ang sinalubong nung ambulance...

That may have been survivable if the ambulance had more decent crumple zone volume. Unfortunately, these cab over vans don't offer much front passenger cabin protection.

Flat nose vans are dangerous, especially the L300 FBs... Ngayon lang inisip ng Toyota mag lagay ng engine sa harap ng Hi-ace...

i haven't seen the guy for some time now.
has he turned a new leaf?

american mack trucks have noses.
european and asian equivalents... nose-less.

[Wh1stl3r]

Those flat noses are doubly dangerous on provincial 2 way roads. Road system would be much safer if it were one way like in most developed countries.

For Europe this is driven by length restrictions on commercial vehicles. They are incentivized to make the cab as short as possible in order to have more trailer space.

Hindi ko maintindihan sa mga flat nose karamihan sa mga Van . Sila pa talaga mabilis at reckless sa daan

Yung dashcam video po pala mismo napost nyo...

Anyway, the video proves this statement of the truck driver is complete and utter BS:

But the truck driver insisted that the ambulance was the one that strayed into his lane.
