Fatal Multi-Vehicle Crash in Manila Claims One Life and Leaves Five Hurt

Manila, Dec 8 (NationPress) A tragic multi-vehicle crash in the capital city of Manila has led to the death of one individual and left five others injured.

According to police reports on Saturday, a malfunction in the brakes of a speeding 10-wheeler truck caused it to collide with a pickup truck and five additional vehicles in Paranaque City on Friday night, as reported by the Xinhua news agency.

The driver of the truck, a 54-year-old man, has been taken into custody by the authorities.

This incident occurred just a day after another truck accident in Quezon City on Thursday night, which resulted in four fatalities and injuries to 30 others.

Traffic collisions are a frequent occurrence in the Philippines, especially as roadways become congested during the Christmas season.
