An out-of-control trailer truck mowed down 16 road posts on the East Service Road in Taguig City Monday morning, closing down a portion of the road and cutting power to residents and businesses in the area.
A trailer truck carrying a load of soil plowed through 16 electric, utility and lamp posts on the southbound lane of the road, a Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Metrobase officer said in a phone interview.
As the truck got entangled in the power lines, it fell on its side. No one was reported hurt in the accident.
MMDA traffic enforcers on the ground reported the incident to the Metrobase at around 6:22 a.m.
MMDA tow trucks have been sent to clear the area.
The East Service Road’s southbound section was closed to traffic as authorities continued to remove the fallen posts. -With report by Julliane Love De Jesus
