2 Coffins Fall from Closed Van While Travelling Along NLEX

2 Coffins Causes Disturbance Among Motorists After Falling from Closed Van on NLEX

Two coffins cause a disturbance among motorists after falling off a closed van on the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX).

Motorists along the southbound lane of the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) were caught off guard last night when two coffins fell onto the expressway, causing concern and slowing traffic near the Pulilan Exit.

The incident happened around 7 PM, leaving drivers puzzled and curious. One of the motorists, Noel Luartes, shared that his family was on their way home to Pulilan from Pampanga when they noticed vehicles braking ahead.

“Nagbe-brake na ‘yung mga sasakyan tapos tinitingnan namin bakit ba. Sabi po ng anak ko ‘may nalaglag daddy mukhang may nalaglag’ tapos pagdating namin doon sa area na ‘yon may ataol na may kabaong na doon. Vinideohan na ng anak ko,” Luartes said.

His child pointed out something unusual on the road, which turned out to be coffins that had fallen from a vehicle. Luartes and his child even captured the incident on video. The coffins were confirmed to have fallen from a closed van transporting them from Pampanga to Marikina.

Unfortunately, one of the coffins hit the bumper of an SUV that was following the van. The SUV driver promptly contacted the NLEX hotline for assistance, explaining that although he managed to avoid the falling coffins, debris from the incident still damaged his vehicle’s grille.

“Pagkahulog po nakaiwas po talaga ako pero feeling ko ‘yung debris po nung nahulog na kabaong tumama rin sa grille ko kaya po siya nasira,” the SUV driver said.

Both parties reached an agreement, and the SUV owner received compensation for the damages. Thankfully, no injuries were reported in the incident.

As of this writing, NLEX management has not released a statement regarding the matter. Meanwhile, motorists are reminded to secure their cargo properly to prevent similar accidents on the road.
