00:00Several incidents were captured by the camera.
00:03There are incidents that need to be investigated and investigated.
00:06No one is safe as long as they are caught on cam.
00:10In each and every accident in the past few days,
00:13caught on cam in Katipunan Avenue flyover northbound,
00:16more than 20 cars collided.
00:20In the investigation, the brakes of the truck that caused the collision did not work.
00:24Four people were injured and 20 people were injured in the incident.
00:29Caught on cam!
00:31In this Antipolo, seven cars collided.
00:35After that, there was an 18-wheeler truck that was loaded with copra.
00:40When it reached the straight part of Sumulong Highway,
00:43the driver noticed that the brakes were not working.
00:47The driver was trying to move the truck but because the highway is straight,
00:50the cars collided.
00:53No one was injured in the incident.
00:58Caught on cam!
01:00A 57-year-old woman was killed after she was hit by a car in Marilag, Quezon City.
01:07In the CCTV footage, the woman was seen crossing the road
01:10until she was hit by a car and rolled over by a bus.
01:14At that time, the pedestrian signal was green light
01:17but it suddenly turned red.
01:20According to the corresponding barangay, the woman was killed by their car.
01:24The driver of the bus explained that
01:26he did not notice that someone was crossing the road while he was turning left.
01:32Like Christmas rush, there were many cars on the roads.
01:35How can we avoid such accidents?
01:38We have with us Mr. Gabriel Go,
01:41the head of the Special Operations Group of MMDA.
01:45Good morning.
01:46Good morning, Igan.
01:47In the videos we watched,
01:49there were two trucks that lost their brakes and were involved in a car crash.
01:55The other one was loaded.
01:57What can we do?
01:59Is there anything we can do to avoid such an incident?
02:03Well, you know, first and foremost,
02:05accidents that lose their brakes,
02:08it all narrows down to mechanical errors.
02:11But then again, these mechanical errors can be prevented.
02:14That's why we have what we call preventive maintenance.
02:18Maintenance, right?
02:19Yes.
02:20And it's the responsibility of not only the driver,
02:23but also the owner of the trucks to keep their vehicles up to a top-notch condition
02:29before it is dispatched.
02:30So, that's one of the ways to avoid such scenarios.
02:34But then again, what will the truck driver do?
02:37Because if he goes to the right,
02:40this is a pry-over.
02:41He might fall.
02:42If he goes to the left,
02:44those are the cars.
02:45That's a counter-flow lane.
02:46That's a counter-flow lane.
02:48That's what will happen.
02:49So...
02:50Well, actually, if we look at this scenario,
02:52this scenario in Katipunan,
02:54this is going downhill.
02:56So, the speed is faster.
03:00Plus, the brakes are gone.
03:02So, definitely, the speed, velocity,
03:04plus the impact,
03:05it plays a big role.
03:06However, we can see that there's no way out.
03:10Like we said, if he goes to the right,
03:12he might fall.
03:14However, if he maneuvers to the other lane,
03:17it's more dangerous because it's going to counter-flow.
03:20More people might get hit.
03:22So, if you see this scenario,
03:24the real problem is the truck.
03:26The maintenance before it is dispatched.
03:28Correct.
03:29Before the trucks are dispatched,
03:31especially these big trucks,
03:33the reason why the brakes are gone is not right.
03:36Imagine, that's a life-threatening situation.
03:38In Sumulong Highway,
03:39that's also a pry-over.
03:41Right?
03:42Oh, no. This is for the ladies.
03:44That's also a pry-over in Sumulong Highway.
03:46I was a victim there last Saturday.
03:49The traffic there was really bad.
03:51It was like a mountain here in Katipunan.
03:54So, in these pry-overs,
03:56especially these trucks,
03:57what to do if you are careful when driving?
04:01Well, then again,
04:02the maintenance of the vehicle still plays a role.
04:06Because remember,
04:07our vehicles are wear-and-tear,
04:10especially the big trucks.
04:12So definitely,
04:13every garage before it is dispatched,
04:15there should be a check-in.
04:17To make sure that it is road-worthy.
04:20That's what we call a vehicle.
04:21It's like an overload of gravel and sand.
04:23Correct.
04:24That's also one of the scenarios that we see.
04:26The problem of the brakes are gone,
04:28the drivers make mistakes,
04:30because overloading is one of the major reasons as well.
04:34And aside from that,
04:35the drivers,
04:36the mental health and physical health of our drivers
04:39is very important.
04:40This Christmas,
04:41they seem to be very tired.
04:43Okay.
04:44Let's move on, Mr. Goz,
04:46to another video.
04:47This is a woman,
04:48she's in the middle of the road.
04:49Suddenly,
04:50there's a bus.
04:51She's on the left,
04:52but someone is crossing the road.
04:53She got hit by a car.
04:54The woman and her family are fighting.
04:58Is this something that can be avoided?
05:00Is there a pedestrian lane?
05:03What they're saying is,
05:04the bus is beating the red light.
05:07Is there really a blind spot?
05:10The driver said that he didn't see anyone crossing the road.
05:13You know, Igan,
05:14there is a blind spot,
05:15especially when the bus or truck is that big.
05:18First and foremost,
05:19that's a blind spot
05:21because the A-pillars are huge.
05:24Those are all blind spots.
05:25Okay.
05:26And especially,
05:27this side...
05:29on both ends...
05:30It will get stuck.
05:31That's a blind spot.
05:32Plus, the back.
05:33Because it's big.
05:34So, one of the...
05:36If we look at it,
05:38when it comes to technicalities,
05:40blind spots can still be avoided.
05:42Because we have developments
05:44when it comes to advancements in vehicles.
05:48One of them is the blind spot monitoring.
05:50There are also what we call maneuvering cameras.
05:53And of course,
05:55there are large side mirrors that are convex
05:58which will allow you to have a broader vision.
06:01It's wider.
06:03However, in this case,
06:05as we saw in the video,
06:07the left side of the bus is very fast.
06:10And...
06:11it shows up
06:13disregarding the traffic light.
06:15So, that's one of the reasons
06:17why the pedestrian didn't notice it.
06:21It's because he tried to catch the stoplight.
06:24He was probably in a hurry.
06:26And he was too slow to enter.
06:29That's why he had a problem on the side
06:33that he didn't notice the pedestrian.
06:35Which should be avoided.
06:37Maybe another solution here, Mr. Argoy,
06:39is the implementation of a punishment.
06:42It's like we can't see any serious punishment
06:45for these trucks.
06:47There's regular maintenance.
06:49The driver will be punished.
06:51Sometimes, like this bus,
06:53it's already dead,
06:54but the reckless imprudence resulting to homicide is available.
06:59It's available.
07:01Sometimes, our driver's discipline
07:03can compromise our fellow countrymen.
07:07So, there should be some restrictions.
07:09That's true.
07:10Not only the enforcement of the law,
07:12but also the proper education of our drivers.
07:17Because all of this can be prevented.
07:20Not only the maintenance of the vehicle,
07:22but also the driver himself.
07:24Let's ask the LTO and LTFRB.
07:27Are the drivers involved in this incident
07:31still holding their licenses
07:33or will they not be able to drive outside?
07:36Well...
07:37If that's the case, can they still drive?
07:39Well, it's a case-to-case basis.
07:41But technically, if the person is already dead,
07:44I don't think...
07:45They should be careful.
07:46They should be twice as careful.
07:48I mean, the aspect of fit to drive
07:50is already a big spectrum
07:52and is already questionable.
07:54Thank you so much.
07:55Before we proceed to our discussion,
07:57Mr. Gabriel Goh,
07:58Head of Special Operations of MMDA.
08:01My fellow countrymen,
08:02accidents or crimes,
08:03we will investigate them.
08:04Because from now on,
08:05there is no blind spot when it comes to safety.
08:08We will focus on the court on camera.
08:13Wait!
08:14Wait, wait, wait!
08:15Wait!
08:16Don't close it yet.
