MANILA, Philippines - Six persons were hurt when the jeepney they were riding slammed into a wall in Quezon City yesterday morning.

Senior Police Officer 1 Edgardo Talacay said among those injured was jeepney driver Edwin Tibig, 39. Talacay said Tibig and his five passengers were injured at past 6 a.m. in Violago Homes, Barangay Bagong Silangan and brought by barangay officials to Quezon City General Hospital for treatment.

Tibig was bound for Litex when the jeepney’s brakes failed. He could not stop the vehicle since he was driving down a slope.

He was forced to steer the jeepney away from traffic. The vehicle hit the wall of a house and turned on its side.
