Metropolitan Manila Development Authority constable Ivan Castillano said the driver identified as Julius Farnag was traversing the road when he got surprised there was a road separator in front of him. 

He tried to avoid it but was not able to control the vehicle until it smashed into the concrete barriers and fell into the ditch.

Farnag was unhurt.

However he faces raps of reckless imprudence resulting in damage to property.

Meanwhile, as authorities were investigating the SUV accident, a motorcycle figured in another accident also on Commonwealth Avenue.

Rider Aldrin dela Ala was traversing the highway when another vehicle occupied the same lane he was on.

This forced him to crash into a road separator.

Due to the impact, Dela Ala fell meters away from his motorcycle but was otherwise unhurt. —KG, GMA News
