i was in a car crash along slex under the mamplasan exit bridge saturday night 13 june. traveling from calamba going to alabang.

glad to be alive!

i wanna share this with you all. here's the link to the article with pictures:

what caused everything is one of the orange barriers out of place and partly blocking the fast lane.
i'm also wondering why the patrol car and tow truck was so quick to respond. makes me wonder if it was planted on purpose.

That's the problem with SLEX. I almost had the same accident as yours. The barriers at SLEX sometimes were offset on the road and blocking partly the fast lanes.
Its very hard to drive specially during night at slex. You should be extra careful and give full focus on the road. There's not so much warning signs or reflective signs on the road.
Its very sad that you got involved on this accident.

Sorry to hear about the accident, may your girlfriend and all persons injured recover soon.

Glad to know there were no serious injuries. No pics of the troublesome barrier?

Was the orange barrier (plastic I supposed) trying to warn the vehicles that something dangerous lies ahead? If it is just out of place, then the Fortuner should have just run over it and NOT STOP on the fast lane!

I don't want to speculate, but sudden stops because of potholes, bumps, misplaced plastic barriers and others will surely cause accident.

Good to hear you and your friends are okay, bro.

And SLEX is always a danger zone....
