"Naka-blinker siya (van) tapos biglang bumagal. Iiwasan ko sana pero may o-overtake sa akin," he said.
(The van's blinkers were broken, in addition to it immediately slowed all along. I was supposed to swerve to avoid hitting the van but a vehicle was overtaking upon the substitute lane.)
The truck driver was neither drunk nor drowsy, police said.
The truck was supposed to agree to construction materials from Subic to Pangasinan, even if passengers of the van were from Taguig and were headed to Baguio for a vacation.
The family declined to comment upon the incident as most of them were yet in astonishment and are physical attended to in hospitals.
