Car accidents along Katipunan get frequent
by Geru Gotico
QUEZON CITY, Philippines--Three consecutive car accidents happened along Katipunan last Thursday, Friday and Saturday as released yesterday in a situation report by the Ateneo Security Office.
“The main causes of accidents in Katipunan are the flagrant disregard of traffic rules and irresponsible driving,” the report says.
The first accident happened on Thursday wherein a green Lancer smashed into the rear of a white SUV. The white SUV dashed from the southbound lane crossing Katipunan to make a U-turn under the Gate 2.5 overpass when it should have made its U-turn under the flyover.
