TUBA, Benguet – Several helpers of an ill-fated truck were injured after their vehicle reportedly lost its brakes, swerved to the opposite direction of the road and rested on its driver’s side along Marcos Highway, particularly at sitio Badiwan, Poblacion, here, Wednesday afternoon.
Police authorities said that the still undetermined number of helpers were rushed to the Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center (BGHMC) for medical treatment of the injuries that they sustained due to the said incident.
Initial police investigation showed that the injured victims were on board a truck bound for the lowlands when the vehicle suffered from mechanical trouble that prompted the driver to engage the hand break causing the truck to swerve to the north-bound lane and rammed into a park truck head on the side of the road.
The truck continued to move on a downward direction before resting on the driver’s side.
Concerned residents and responding police operatives immediately rushed the victims to the hospital for medical treatment while probers are still looking into the cause of the said accident. By HENT
