Bus firm sanctioned after Isabela accident
The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said on Tuesday it has issued a show cause order to the operator of Pangasinan Five Star Bus Inc. after one of its buses was involved in an accident that killed a pedestrian.
Eight other buses were also slapped a 30-day suspension as the bus company was directed to explain why its franchise should not be suspended or revoked.
Citing a police report, the LTFRB said one of the company’s buses hit a woman in front of Santiago City Medical Center in Isabela after the driver supposedly lost control of the vehicle.
The victim was killed while two bus passengers were injured.
