00:00A truck passed by the MacArthur Highway in Valenzuela.
00:09The truck spread on the road.
00:14Last Saturday, at 9 o'clock in the evening, the accident happened.
00:16And it was already dawn before the truck was built again.
00:19Live from Valenzuela, we have the first news, James Agustin.
00:23James, what is the situation there now?
00:26Susan, Maurice, Ivan, the construction of the MacArthur Highway in Valenzuela City was difficult.
00:36Until now, it is still spread in the middle of the road.
00:39Not only the truck, but also the load of the steel, because a tow truck is still waiting.
00:47Around 9 o'clock in the evening, the 18-wheeler with loaded steel suddenly spread.
00:51It is called H-beam, which is used in the construction of megastructures.
00:56The truck is crossing the northbound lane of the MacArthur Highway,
00:59and to the left of Governor Santiago Road where the accident happened.
01:03All the steel spread on the road.
01:05The truck hit a steel fence and its windshield was broken.
01:09After 6 and a half hours, the truck was completely built around 4 in the morning.
01:15According to the truck driver, they came from Manila and will deliver the steel to Valenzuela.
01:19He said that the truck is running slowly.
01:21Even he was surprised by the accident.
01:26I took a bath in that corner because it is a stoplight.
01:28I took a bath slowly because it is not moving slowly.
01:35The road is clean.
01:39I don't know what happened because it was foggy.
01:43Was it too heavy when you were carrying it?
01:45Before I got on the truck, all the weight went to the other side.
02:00Meanwhile, Ivan, you can see here in the middle of the road how big the loaded steel of this truck is.
02:07These are the H-beams that cover almost 3 lanes of the road.
02:13They are still waiting.
02:14We saw the truck moving a while ago but we still don't know why they are not removing it from the middle of the road.
02:23Now, the traffic in the southbound lane of MacArthur Highway in the area of Malinta is decreasing
02:30because of the accident.
02:32The motorists are trying to avoid it.
02:35As you can see, there is a traffic enforcer here.
02:37They are using only one lane.
02:40But after this, the road will be clear.
02:43That is the first news.
02:44From Valenzuela City, I am James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
