4 dead in jeepney-dump truck crash in Luna, Isabela

Four people died after a jeepney collided with a dump truck in Luna, Isabela on Wednesday morning. 

According to JP Soriano’s report in “24 Oras” on Wednesday, the jeepney that was carrying 11 passengers was dilapidated due to the impact of the collision.

CCTV footage captured the jeepney moving fast before it collided with an oncoming truck that turned across its path.

The accident injured five persons and were brought to the hospital. 

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) directed its regional office in Cagayan Valley to extend assistance for the insurance of all the victims. 

The LTFRB added its investigation showed that the dump truck lost control “due to speed and slippery road and as a result, it collided with a passenger jeepney traveling in the opposite direction.” 

The LTFRB also issued a show-cause order against the operator of the jeepney to determine the road worthiness of the vehicle.
