DOTr to conduct 'impartial' investigation in NAIA incident
Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon stated that the SUV crash at NAIA Terminal 1, which breached the outer railing and landed on the walkway, was unintentional.
The crash resulted in two fatalities: a five-year-old girl and a 29-year-old man, with four others injured.
Initial review of CCTV footage suggests the crash was not intentional, as the driver had reportedly dropped off a passenger and the vehicle was at a full stop before suddenly accelerating.
The driver is under investigation and will undergo mandatory drug testing, with their license already suspended for 90 days by the Land Transportation Office.
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) will conduct a full and impartial investigation, reviewing all CCTV footage.
The Philippine National Police (PNP), New NAIA Infra Corp., and Manila International Airport Authority Security are also conducting investigations.
San Miguel Corporation has pledged to provide all necessary assistance to the victims and their families.
