FIVE persons were injured in a vehicular accident at the reclamation area in Mandaue City late Sunday afternoon.
A truck for septic tank services hit the rear of the jeepney ahead of it, causing it to turn on its left side.
Around 5:45 p.m., a Mitsubishi Fuso jeepney (GWR 355) and an Isuzu Forward (GNT 688), the vehicle for septic tank services, were traveling toward Cebu City when the latter reportedly lost its brakes.
Due to the malfunction, the vehicle for septic tank services rammed the jeepney, which was driven by Beberlito de la Rama of Barangay Estancia, Mandaue City.
Based on the report of the Mandaue City Traffic Division, truck driver Soilo Cabiles of Cebu City admitted it was his vehicle that caused the accident.
The passengers brought to the Mandaue City Hospital for immediate treatment were identified as Emelito Fermano, Michelle Langyon, Analiza Langyon, Garciano Almacen Jr. and Niño Vibar. (AAG)
