00:00Traffic. An accident-hit truck is now driving through a part of C5 Eastwood in Quezon City.
00:11The truck hit the road and the cargo spread like a storm.
00:17About 10 people were injured in the accident.
00:20And live from Quezon City, first news is James Agustin. James, what is the latest situation there?
00:31Igan, Maris, Ivan, at this time, the two vehicles that were involved in the accident in this part of C5 Eastwood in Quezon City are still unharmed.
00:39Aside from that, an L300FV van and a dump truck.
00:44More than 10 people were injured when the L300Van was driving.
00:48Before 5 a.m. when this accident happened, it was difficult to rescue the people who were trapped in the L300FV van.
00:55They were taken out one by one from the rescuers.
00:57They were put on stretchers and immediately put on ambulances.
01:01Executing tools such as spreaders and cutters were also used.
01:04The seats on the back of the L300Van also had to be removed
01:08so that the last trapped vehicle could be taken out.
01:10Initial information from the rescuers is that more than 10 L300Vans were injured and brought to the hospitals.
01:18The L300Van was severely damaged and it even twisted.
01:22As for the dump truck, it also twisted and scattered debris.
01:25According to the dump truck driver, he was clearing the southbound lane of C5
01:29when suddenly a motorcycle turned left at the intersection.
01:33He avoided it so the L300Van was able to overtake him.
01:36The northbound lane was being cleared at that time.
01:40Meanwhile, Ivan, at this time, as you can see, the situation is still the same.
01:43The dump truck is still here, even the L300Van.
01:47The front of this L300Van is severely damaged.
01:50As the rescuers are telling us,
01:52it was really hard for them to take out the driver who was trapped in the front of the L300Van.
01:59Earlier, we were able to catch the vehicles on the back side
02:02and the seats on the back had to be removed because the vehicles were also trapped.
02:07Most of those we saw were injured in different parts of the body.
02:11From the initial information we got, this dump truck came from Rodriguez Rizal
02:16and it will deliver garbage to Santa Rosa, Laguna.
02:19This L300Van came from Ortigas
02:23and the vehicles are on their way home from work to Marikina.
02:27We can see that there is already traffic on the northbound lane of C5 Libis
02:32because until now, the tow truck of the MMDA is still waiting
02:35to remove the two vehicles that were involved in the accident.
02:39Our fellow citizens are waiting for more details.
02:42Later in the first news, I am James Agustin for Germany Integrated News.
02:45James, just to inform the tourists,
02:48what is the direction of the non-passable part of C5?
02:56It is already passing, Ivan, at this time
02:59but there are two lanes here on the northbound lane.
03:02This dump truck is really big.
03:07The back side of the dump truck is almost in the middle of the road
03:11but it is already passing.
03:13There are MMDA enforcers here who are in charge of the traffic.
03:17We can see that the traffic has already passed
03:19before it is 6 a.m. here on the northbound lane of C5 Libis.
03:24Ivan.
03:24Thank you very much James Agustin.
