00:17 In the midst of destruction and chaos, it's hard to imagine how this jeepney got overturned
00:26 in the old Zora area on Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City.
00:30 The events happened quickly, at 10 in the morning,
00:33 when another jeepney was overturned by another jeepney that lost its brakes.
00:37 We were so worried.
00:39 We were worried that we would all get stuck inside the jeepney
00:42 because the one that was going down was out of control.
00:45 That's when we got stuck.
00:47 It was slow, but it shouted, "The brakes are gone."
00:52 Alfred was the one who got stuck inside the jeepney and was covered in sweat.
00:57 It was hot, so my hands were injured.
00:59 What happened to you?
01:00 I got a headlock.
01:02 My head was like a headlock.
01:03 I jumped right away and climbed up the door.
01:06 Seven other passengers were injured by the same jeepney.
01:09 According to the MMDA, one of the passengers was injured in the head.
01:13 There were a lot of people who were trying to save him.
01:16 He couldn't move his hands.
01:22 According to the jeepney driver who lost his brakes,
01:24 he was going to put the jeepney on the post that was being used for MRT.
01:28 But...
01:29 The jeepney suddenly stopped.
01:31 It was going to go inside.
01:33 That's why I just put it on.
01:34 His body.
01:35 He put it on my chest.
01:37 He was saying the wrong thing.
01:39 He's the one who lost his brakes.
01:41 He's the one who's lying.
01:43 Because of the sweat that was falling,
01:44 he had to put on a helmet and pump water.
01:48 The accident caused a lot of traffic.
01:51 At 11 am on Katipunan Avenue,
01:55 an orange pickup was driving on the second lane
01:59 in the direction of Palibis and Eslex
02:01 when the faster 10-wheeler truck on the left arrived.
02:04 It was rammed into a gutter so it turned to the side
02:08 and the pickup was hit.
02:09 The UP is not injured on the left side of the pickup
02:12 so the driver of the truck was not injured.
02:14 He didn't face the media.
02:16 The driver and the driver's assistant were also involved.
02:20 It was just a little.
02:21 It was a finger and a lot of damage.
02:23 My driver was just hit by a car.
02:27 The truck's driver is still being investigated
02:30 to find out if it was a human error or a mechanical error.
02:34 But his assistant said,
02:36 We stopped at a stoplight.
02:38 We stopped at a stoplight when we were going.
02:40 The brakes were gone.
02:41 What time was that?
02:42 Around 11 am.
02:44 While the juice drink boxes were being turned
02:47 to be moved to the Romeliebong Delivery Truck,
02:49 there was heavy traffic.
02:51 It reached Sipi Garcia and Luzon Avenue
02:55 in the Commonwealth.
02:56 Even if only one lane was closed
02:58 when the truck was to be built,
03:00 the traffic was still not exhausted
03:01 due to the volume of the Saverville,
03:04 Anonas and Viluna Extension.
03:07 The vehicles involved in the accident
03:09 were also removed before rush hour yesterday.
