A Series of Road Disasters Lately

Accidents by definition happen rarely. But when a series of road mishaps killing tens of people takes place, we cannot help but wonder, what's going on? Can this be still under the laws of statistical probability? Can this be only a result of human negligence? Or, some dark powers are behind these tragic vehicular accidents that continue to happen around the country. Quezon Pagbilao, 29 August 2010 (Sunday) ---At around 2:30 PM, a CUL Bus Transport vehicle fell of a 12-foot cliff, then into a creek, after its break malfunctioned while negotiating the zigzag Bicol Diversion Road in Maharlika Highway in Sitio Amao, Barangay Silangan Malicboy, on its way from Tacloban (Leyte) to Manila. Five people (four females and a male) were confirmed dead and 39 others injured.
