Fourteen people killed as truck plunges into cliff
At least 14 people were killed and three others critically injured after a truck fell into a cliff in Negros Oriental province in central Philippines on Wednesday.
According to police, the truck was travelling along a highway when the driver lost control of the vehicle in Mabinay town.
This caused it to overturn and roll into a ravine at around 1:30 p.m. local time.
The upside-down truck pinned the passengers under the vehicle.
Police and rescuers were on site to determine the cause of the fatal accident.
