The Land

In a special
meeting held on the same day as the crash, the LTFRB approved the
preventive suspension of the franchise of Dela Rosa Transit, as posted
on LTFRB's official Twitter account.

The LTFRB
further required all drivers of Dela Rosa Transit to undergo drug
testing and road safety seminar within 15 days from the receipt of the
order.
According to
reports, the bus with plate number TYM 249 crashed into the rear a gray
Toyota Vios, leaving the car crushed as it was sandwiched between the
Dela Rosa bus and another bus in front of it.
The freak
accident, which happened along the EDSA northbound lane near Muñoz
Market, trapped the sedan driver inside. One grueling hour later,
firefighters safely pulled him out of the wreckage and took him to the
hospital.
The bus driver was arrested and is now in jai. - 9News Online
