Another vehicle fell off the Skyway elevated toll road Saturday night. A white Mitsubishi Montero Sport apparently broke through the guardrail, rear-first. It fell onto a wall bordering the service road in Bicutan. This is the second incident of a light truck skidding on the Skyway and meeting the railing. In the first incident, the Mitsubishi Strada pickup fortunately did not fall off. Its rear wheels hung over the edge until rescue vehicles pulled it back onto the road.

The accident once again raises the question whether the Skyway’s guardrails are adequate. In December 2013, a bus operated by Don Mariano Transit plunged off the Skyway into traffic below, killing 21 persons.
