A devastating multi-vehicle collision on the northbound lane of the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) resulted in the deaths of twelve individuals and left 27 others injured on Labour Day, May 1. The catastrophic event occurred around 12:30 pm at the Tarlac SCTEX Exit Toll Plaza, as confirmed by Central Luzon police chief Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo.

 

Initial reports from the Central Luzon Police Regional Office (PRO 3) indicate that the accident involved three SUVs, a container truck, and a passenger bus. The incident was triggered when the passenger bus collided with an SUV stopped at Lane 2 of the toll plaza. The severe impact created a chain reaction, causing the SUV to crash into multiple vehicles ahead of it.

 

As investigation efforts continue, authorities are working to understand the full scope of the incident and the precise series of events that led to this tragic outcome. The police are looking into all possibilities to determine the cause and prevent such accidents in the future.
