LTO probes viral video of drowsy truck driver
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) is investigating a viral video showing a driver appearing to fall asleep at the wheel of a Ford Ranger in Metro Manila.
LTO Chief Vigor Mendoza II confirmed the investigation began immediately after the agency's social media monitoring team spotted the video.
The video, which shows the pick-up truck traversing the road slowly while other motorists attempted to alert the driver and property damage, has garnered over three million views.
Mendoza stated that the agency aims to determine the exact cause of the incident, whether it was a medical condition or something else, and requires proof if it was due to a medical condition.
The LTO issued a show cause order to the registered owner of the vehicle, identified by plate number NHD 3814, requiring an explanation for the incident.
The vehicle has been placed on alarm, halting all transactions with the LTO until the investigation concludes.
