BUS ACCIDENTS IN PHILIPPINES
. MANILA, February 15. Thirty-six persons were reported killed and 56 injured, many seriously, in two bus accidents in the Philippines at the week-end.
Twenty-five persons died and 20 were injured, most of them seriously, when a bus of the Northern Luzon Lines ran off the road near Sison, in central Luzon, and burst into flames. In the other accident 11 persons were reported killed and 35 injured when a bus plunged into a ravine on the Tabuk Mountain, 120 miles north-east of Baguio.
The authorities blamed the first accident on a sleepy driver, who attempted to commit suicide after the accident, stabbing himself twice in the breast.
