LTO suspends licenses of minibus and truck drivers involved in accidents

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has suspended the driver's license of a minibus driver involved in a road accident in Baguio City that left 13 people injured on Saturday, May 10.

Additionally, the LTO temporarily suspended the license of a truck driver involved in a recent crash in Quezon province as part of a show cause order (SCO) issued to both the driver and operator.

The minibus incident led to a preventive suspension for 90 days pending investigation, while the truck driver faces potential permanent revocation if unable to prove otherwise.

A hearing is scheduled for May 20 in Baguio City and May 16 in Quezon province to formally start investigations into both incidents.

Both drivers were asked to explain their actions in writing, with non-compliance resulting in automatic waiver of rights; the truck operator must also justify why no sanctions should be imposed.
