License of jeepney driver in viral accident suspended
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has suspended the license of a jeepney driver for 90 days following a viral incident in Carriedo, Manila, where a video showed the driver involved in an accident that injured a pedestrian.
The LTO has also placed the involved passenger jeepney under alarm to halt any transactions during the ongoing investigation.
LTO chief Assistant Secretary Vigor Mendoza II stated that the investigation aims to uncover the details of the incident and provide the driver with due process to explain his side.
A viral video captured a man approaching and later carrying an unconscious individual, who was apparently struck by the jeepney amidst heavy rain and calls for assistance from bystanders.
The LTO has issued show cause orders to both the registered owner of the jeepney, to explain why they shouldn't be charged for employing a reckless driver, and to the driver himself, to explain the incident and avoid charges of reckless driving.
