4 killed, 39 injured in Quezon bus accident

At least four people were reported killed and 39 injured when a passenger bus fell into a ravine in Quezon province before dawn Sunday.

Quezon provincial police chief Senior Superintendent Erickson Velasquez said the incident occurred at 2:30 a.m. as the bus was traveling from Tacloban City to its terminal in Quezon City.

“Yung bus galing Tacloban papuntang Cubao, naaksidente sa Pagbilao. Nahulog sa
ravine kaninang mga 2:30 a.m. (The bus from Tacloban City heading to its terminal in
Cubao when it fell into a ravine at 2:30 a.m.)," Velasquez said in an interview on dzBB radio.

“Mga 39 ang nasugatan at apat ang nasawi sa insidenteng ito (About 39 were injured
and four were killed in this incident)," he said.

Velasquez did not immediately name the four fatalities. He said that the police were
waiting for the bus driver to regain consciousness before interviewing him.

Sunday’s incident was the latest in a series of deadly bus accidents since June.

In Cebu last June, at least 20 Iranians died after the bus they were riding on plunged into a ravine.

On Aug. 18, at least 42 were killed when a bus fell into a ravine in Benguet province.

Last week, beauty titlist Melody Gersbach and two others were killed after their car
collided with a bus in Bicol. —VS, GMANews.TV
