MALABON—Six commuters were seriously injured when a bus racing another hit the one they were on in Malabon before dawn Sunday.
The Malabon City police-traffic enforcement unit reported the incident took place around 2:30 a.m. on MacArthur Highway in Barangay Potrero.
AC Trans driver Rodel Celemenia reportedly got irritated when he was passed by another bus, so he tried to overtake the latter but hit a stalled Pena Liner driven by Brando Tumbali.
Celemenia tried to put on the breaks but his bus still hit the back portion of Tumbali’s bus, damaging its door. The AC Trans bus was also gravely damaged.
Six of Tumbali’s passengers were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment of injuries in different parts of their bodies.
Celemenia who fled will face charges for reckless imprudence resulting in damage to property and multiple physical injuries.
