An SUV plunged off Agana Bridge in Tarlac City, resulting in two fatalities, one rescue, and two individuals still missing. The discovery of a tire about 2 kilometers downstream from the bridge, as river waters receded, aided in identifying the submerged vehicle.
A tragic incident at the Agana Bridge in Tarlac City has led to the plunge of a sports utility vehicle (SUV) off the bridge, resulting in two fatalities, one rescued individual, and two still missing. Tarlac City Mayor Susan Yap announced on Wednesday that retrieval operations have commenced for the SUV that fell off Agana Bridge, which had partially collapsed. Local residents spotted a tire when the river water receded slightly about 2 kilometers away from Agana Bridge. This discovery is believed to have led to the identification of the submerged vehicle. The direct cause of the accident and the details surrounding the bridge's collapse are currently under investigation. Issues of aging infrastructure and maintenance are frequently raised in the Philippines, and this incident may be linked to such concerns. Search operations for the missing individuals are ongoing, and the local community has expressed support for the victims and their families. Source: Inquirer NewsInfo
