UV Express Rams Motorcycles in Commonwealth, Quezon City
A UV Express van plowed through several motorcycles along Commonwealth Avenue near Philcoa, Quezon City, leaving one person dead and at least three others injured.
According to witnesses, the UV Express, driven by 51-year-old Ruel Dela Cerna, hit multiple vehicles, including 12 motorcycles and two cars. The commotion reportedly began after the driver had an argument with another motorcycle rider, which led to a dangerous chase and reckless driving along the busy highway.
The UV Express speeds through traffic even after hitting several vehicles. Some motorists tried to stop the van, with one truck attempting to block its path, but the driver managed to slip through and continued driving for several meters before being cornered and arrested with the help of concerned citizens.
Authorities confirmed that the suspect is now in the custody of the Quezon City Police and is facing multiple charges, including homicide, multiple physical injuries, and damage to property.
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has also taken immediate action, coordinating with the police to revoke his driver’s license permanently to prevent him from driving again.
An initial alcohol test conducted on Dela Cerna came out negative, but he will still undergo a drug test as part of the investigation.
The incident has sparked outrage among the public, with many calling for stricter screening and monitoring of public utility drivers. Authorities continue to investigate the full details surrounding the case.
