    Very tragic accident happened today at the SLEX Skyway. I was in deep shock to learn this..

    3 kids, aged 10, 10 & 5 y/o, seated at the back not strapped on their seatbelts died when they were thrown out of the car by the impact of the crash.. And sadly the driver also succumbed to her injuries.. My deepest condolences to their Families..

    RIP.

    It's weird that they could readily conclude that the accident was caused by over-speeding. Even when driving within the SCTEX legal speed limit of 80-100kph, almost any tall vehicle has a potential to flip over when mishandled... and Fortuners, for one, are a bit top-heavy.

    Every parents nightmare... That's why hanggat maaari gusto ko ako magdrive para sa family ko.

    bakit po SCTEX/skyway? di ba papunta ng south ang skyway?

    The kids may have been playing inside enough to cause the driver to lose concentration. Madalas din ang makita ng forts with crushed roofs...

    Rollover prone talaga mga cars like Fortuner. Truck base, high ground clerance tapos medyo payat... They could have survived kung meron curtain airbags...

    Could it be that having a shorter wheelbase caused these types of accident?
    Add to it the speed (kahit 80 lang) of the car.

    Terrible accident. Condolences to the family.
