    At least seven people were killed while five others were injured after a sport-utility vehicle they were riding hit an electric post in Dasmariñas, Cavite, before dawn Tuesday.

    Dasmariñas City police head Superintendent Marcos Badilla said the incident occurred in Langkaan village about 4 a.m. The victims, on board a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (MWI 964), were en route to Trece Martires City when the road mishap happened.

    Six of the victims died on the spot. They could not immediately be identified because authorities could not find any identification cards on their bodies. The seventh fatality, identified as Edmon Laurente, died while being treated at a nearby hospital.

    Initial investigation also indicated some of the victims were drunk at the time of the crash.

    "Nakasakay sila sa Toyota Prado with 12 on board. Bumangga sila sa Meralco post at anim ang patay ... As per our investigator nakainom ang iba doon (The 12 victims were on a Toyota Prado and they hit a post of the Manila Electric Company. As per our investigation, some of the victims were drunk)," Badilla said in an interview on dzBB radio.


    He did not immediately identify the five injured victims, but said some of them were in critical condition.

    Senior Inspector Wilfred Ilano, traffic chief of the Dasmariñas Police, said in an interview with GMA's Unang Balita that the impact of the crash damaged two electric posts. He said it was unlikely that road conditions were to blame for the road crash.

    "May mga ilaw naman ang kalsada. Amoy alak lang talaga sila [The area was well-lit. It seemed the victims were under the influence of alcohol]," Ilano said. — LBG/RSJ, GMANews.TV
    Sabi ng driver sa interview,- may iniwasan daw silang bus.... Pero, sabi ng mga pulis,- amoy alak sila.....
