Road Accidents July 26, 2011

It might be because of the heavy rains, undisciplined drivers or other factors. However, the fact still is that accidents will always happen. But for today, its quite different, with 2 accidents happening within a span of an hour. Ironically, it happened during the time that a tropical storm is approaching the country with heavy rains.

The first accident happened on the southbound lane of Skyway, wherein a public utility bus fell to the service road from the Skyway above. 3 people died including the driver, the only thing fortunate is that the bus did not hit any vehicle below when it fell. The accident took place between around 11 in the morning.

The second accident took place at around 12:08 in the afternoon. Seven vehicles were involved in the accident on the Southbound lane of the EDSA Ayala tunnel, on which the MMDA closed off the said section of EDSA.

It might be a coincidence because drivers could either blame it on poor weather conditions, or slippery roads. But again, if you are disciplined then you'll know that you have to drive slowly during such conditions.

My thoughts, undisciplined drivers most likely caused these accidents. That or poor maintenance on the part of the vehicle owner.
