TheMetropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will seek the suspension of the franchise of an 18-wheel trailer truck that fell on its side and snarled traffic flow for about 15 hours on Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City on Thursday.
MMDA officer in charge and general manager Tim Orbos said the agency was also set to file legal cases such as negligence resulting in damage to property against the owner of the truck, DV Lindo Construction.
“This incident will set in motion our action to pursue legal retribution against operators of vehicles, especially cargo trucks, which do damage to government property and cause traffic congestion and much inconvenience to the public,” Orbos said in a statement on Sunday.
The driver, identified as Jorge de Asis, claimed he lost control of the truck that was carrying two shipping containers around 3 a.m. on Jan. 19. The truck fell on its side and damaged the center island. —WITH REPORTS FROM ERIKA SAULER
