Nine passengers of a passenger transport were killed in an accident Monday afternoon in Hinatuan town in Surigao del Sur.
Santiago Ronquillo, survivor in the tragic accident, said that they were returning to Hinatuan’s town center after attending a fiesta in Sitio Airport in a passenger transport with almost 50 passengers.
He said however that the vehicle’s brakes went out.
Ronquillo said the vehicle’s driver, Sulpico Altamia, opted to slam the vehicle to one side of the road to avoid falling off a cliff which was on the other side.
Six reportedly died on the spot while three died in Democrito O. Plaza Memorial Hospital in neighboring Agusan del Sur province where the injured victims of the accident were taken. - ABS-CBN News
