My mom was involved in an accident whilst going home at EDSA last night. Her car was rear ended by a red passenger bus which i'd reckon, had been going at a brisk pace because during the time the accident happened, there was very light traffic at EDSA. The good thing is, the car was hit spot on at the rear center, which means, nothing structural was affected, therefore only the door would be needed to replaced and it would be pretty much as good as new. Although in the state it's in right now, the door is pretty much ka-put, its destroyed literally, it can't be opened at all and it's stuck basically.
Another great thing is that the bus driver immediately admitted that it was his fault and the bus company he works for will shoulder the repair cost. Thank God for insurance!
The moral lesson here would be: be careful out there, especially on our hazardous roads. Try to avoid being beside big vehicles like trucks or buses because they have minimal visibility and more often that not, have little consideration towards the other smaller, plebeian vehicles they are sharing the road with.
