The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) summoned the operator of a passenger bus involved in a fatal multi-vehicle collision that occurred along España Boulevard in Sampaloc, Manila, authorities confirmed Sunday.
The road accident, which took place on September 11, resulted in the death of an elderly resident and left eight others injured. The crash involved multiple vehicles in a series of collisions along the busy thoroughfare in the capital.
The LTFRB's summons to the bus operator marks the agency's initial step in investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident. The transportation regulator typically examines compliance with safety protocols, vehicle maintenance standards, and driver qualifications in cases involving public utility vehicles.
The investigation seeks to determine the factors that contributed to the collision and whether any violations of transportation laws occurred. Details regarding the specific charges or findings from the LTFRB's examination have yet to be disclosed.
