In tragic news circulating social media today, 14 lives out of 50 have been cut short in an accident in Tanay, Rizal involving a tourist bus from “Haranah Tours”
In the report by ABS-CBN News, the driver responsible for the road accident had been employed by the Panda Coach Tours and Transport, Inc. and is a rookie employee of the said company.

“Kami po ay nakikiramay at kami ay naaano sa pangyayaring ito pero magtutulungan po tayo at aanuhin po natin ang lahat ng gastos sa ospital at sa pagpapalibing ng mga bata,” Martires added.
The passengers, mostly students, came from Quezon City and were on their way to a camping field trip. The bus apparently lost control and crashed into an electric post in the vicinity of Magnetic Hill, Peligrino Farm, Sitio Bayukan, Barangay Sampaloc in Tanay, Rizal.

Other causes of road accidents may lie within the vehicle itself, such as the having faulty and defective parts.
