Fourteen people were reported injured after a Philippine National Railways train collided with a passenger bus in Nabua, Camarines Sur.

As reported by TV5’s ‘Frontline Pilipinas Weekend,’ the passenger bus allegedly attempted to cross the railway.

The train was already approaching when the bus went ahead and crossed, which led to the unfortunate incident.

The passenger bus landed on its side near the railway along Maharlika Highway.

The driver of the passenger bus was among the injured, together with his 13 passengers.

Meanwhile, the train operator wasn’t harmed from the incident.

Based on the initial investigations, the passenger bus was from Pasay City going to Legaspi City, Albay.

When it’s already near the railway, the train reportedly made all efforts to warn the bus, but the bus still proceeded.

According to the report, it’s possible that the bus didn’t hear the train’s horns, that’s why it ended up being hit by the train.

Additionally, the area also lacked enough lighting, resulting in the railway to be also dark during the time of the incident.

“Wala ata silang flagman during sa mga oras na ganyan. Pero, meron silang mga early warning sign. ‘Yung tren, malayo pa, nagbubusina na,” said P/Cpl. JONARD BUFETE, SPOKESPERSON, NABUA POLICE.

As of this writing, some of the injured victims are currently recovering in the hospital.

In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5’s ‘Frontline Pilipinas,’ the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in ‘Unang Balita,’ the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school’s faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
