Several individuals were hurt in Noveleta, Cavite after a driver seemingly lost control of her car and hit vehicles, crashed into a house and plowed into a barangay multi-purpose hall.
According to a “24 Oras” report by Bam Alegre on Thursday, CCTV footage on the morning of the accident showed the car stopping in the middle of the traffic at the national highway in Barangay San Rafael 3, Noveleta, Cavite.
A man approached the car to check on the driver when it suddenly accelerated, bumping a van. It then backed out and crashed into a house before speeding anew, plowing into a multi-purpose hall and hitting another car and two motorcycles.
The driver navigated the car back onto the street where it was stopped by barangay officials.
As the barangay officials were talking to the driver, she suddenly fainted, prompting them to bring her to the hospital.
The victims were also rushed to the hospital for medical attention.
“Sa ngayon nasa ospital po [ang relative ko], nagpapagaling… Kasi po, doon sa aksidente, nagtamo siya ng fracture sa kaniyang hita. Nadurog ang buto niya doon. Kakailanganin pong lagyan ng bakal at sementuhan. Sa ngayon, matibay at buo ang desisyon po namin na magsampa ng kaukulang kaso,” said the niece of a victim.
([My relative] is currently recovering at the hospital… This is because during the incident, he got a fracture in his leg. The bone in his leg was shattered. They needed to add metal and cement it. As of now, our decision to press the appropriate charges is firm.)
