00:00A container van of a trailer truck fell and hit another truck in the Andes Circle in Manila.
00:08That's why the traffic there is usually heavy.
00:12And that's what Sandra Aguinaldo is pointing out.
00:18The container van, which will depart from South Harbor around 12 noon,
00:25is full of parcels.

00:34A container van of a trailer truck fell and hit another truck in the Andes Circle in Manila.
00:41The driver explained,
00:42I was hit by a motorbike and I tried to avoid it so that it won't hit me.
00:47My wheel hit a big rock and that's why my container fell.
00:52The Manila Traffic and Parking Bureau is investigating why the container was removed from the truck
00:58when the driver avoided the motorcycle.
01:01The pin was not locked.
01:03There are pins and locks.
01:05The driver is not allowed to go inside.
01:09That's why when they go outside, they lock the pin here.
01:12That's the driver's responsibility.
01:14It will be included in reckless driving.
01:16One lock was removed.
01:19One lock was removed and the container fell.
01:23An MMDA sent a crane truck but it was difficult to lift the container van
01:29which will not go down.
01:31It weighs 24 tons.
01:33Due to technical problem, especially in that container,
01:38which has a load,
01:39one of our cranes will not be able to lift it.
01:41That's why the MMDA used two crane trucks.
01:46Because of the accident, the former traffic under the circle
01:49was passed by trucks from North and South Harbors.
01:53There was almost no traffic this afternoon, especially when rush hour came.
01:57There was a lot of traffic.
02:01Especially, different vehicles were passing by.
02:04Last Friday afternoon, the MMDA's second crane truck arrived to help.
02:09The container van can be lifted and the truck can be driven.
02:13At 5.56 p.m., the truck left the area.
