DOTr suspends bus firm after NLEX crash; 13 injured
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has suspended operations of a bus company involved in a multiple-vehicle collision on the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) in Valenzuela City, which left 13 people injured.
On Monday night, April 14, the bus carrying 30 passengers from Angat, Bulacan to Monumento, Caloocan reportedly lost control while traveling at high speed and crashed into a closed van and a dump truck near the fourth lane of the expressway.
The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has now placed the operator under preventive suspension for up to 30 days, ordering them to cease operations of six buses plying the PITX-Navitas Terminal route via EDSA, undergo road safety training, mandatory drug testing, and submit proof from insurance companies that compensation has been provided to victims.
No fatalities were reported in the incident, but both the bus and dump truck drivers have been brought to the Valenzuela police station for investigation.
