Five injured in jeep and van collision on España Boulevard


Five were injured after a van slammed into a stationary jeep along España Boulevard in Sampaloc, Maynila on Thursday morning, according to a report by Super Radyo dzBB reporter James Agustin on Unang Balita.

The impact of the collision forced the jeep up a plantbox, ripped a street sign off, and wrecked the windshield of the van and the bumpers of both vehicles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rescuers treated the three injured passengers of the jeep and extracted, with difficulty, jeepney driver Vicente Baluyan as he could not move his leg.

 

 

Baluyan was attached to an oxygen tank to help him breathe.

The driver of the van, Alberto Dayuda, said he did not notice Baluyan's jeep parked along the intersection of España as he was heading for Antipolo Street in Sampaloc.

Baluyan was supposedly parked at the intersection before the collision happened.

Dayuda complained of dizziness and a stomach injury after the accident. —Rie Takumi/KG, GMA News
