BAGUIO CITY, Philippines -  Three passengers of an empty Isuzu elf truck were rushed to the hospital Wednesday afternoon for various injuries after their vehicle turned turtle along the Baguio circumferential road in Suello Village.

Police said the driver of the truck with plate number TCL 973, 18-year-old Sherwin Pilyo, failed to maneuver correctly the vehicle because of heavy fog in the area.
