Sleepy driver causes 6-car crash on EDSA

This happened sometime over the weekend, but it caused so much damage that its effects can be felt until today.

“At least four people were slightly injured in a recent collision involving six vehicles along the northbound lane of EDSA corner Fema Road in Quezon City,’ reports dzMM correspondent Dexter Ganibe on ABS-CBNnew.com. 

According to investigators, “a speeding Mitsubishi Montero first sideswiped a tourist bus before hitting an Isuzu Crosswind, a Mazda SUV, an R&E taxi, and a Toyota Revo.”

After that the vehicle, driven by Johans Uy, went on to crash into a bunkhouse beside the Dario bridge. The bunkhouse was being used by workers repairing the bridge.

Uy later confessed that he was sleepy at the time of the accident, as he had just come from work. He sustained hand injuries. He was brought to the Quezon City Traffic Sector 6.

The driver of the taxi as well as two construction workers were also hurt in the accident.
