In Philippines, at least 26 people were killed and 21 injured when a passenger bus crashed into a deep ravine in northern region today.
Police and local officials said the bus plunged in the upland town Carranglan of Nueva Ecija province after its brakes failed while travelling on a winding road.
Authorities were still investigating the cause of the accident but Carranglan Mayor Mary Abad said there were 60 passengers onboard although the bus had a capacity of only 45. President Rodrigo Duterte’s spokesman Ernesto Abella expressed condolences to the families of the victims and said those responsible would be held accountable.
