Three people, including a five-year- old girl, died while nine others were injured when their vehicle was hit by a train in Candelaria in the province of Quezon this morning, police said.
LUCENA CITY—One person was killed and four others were injured in a road accident along the zigzag diversion road in Atimonan, Quezon province, on Friday.


The victims were aboard a Toyota Innova van which was heading for Manila. The van was hit by a train bound for Lucena city when it was crossing a Philippine National Railways railroad tracks in Masin Sur in Candelaria town at 4:15 a.m Thursday, said a police report.
Quezon police chief Senior Supt. Valeriano de Leon said a Bicol-bound cargo truck was descending the diversion road in Barangay Sta. Catalina at around 2:20 a.m. when it lost its brakes and bumped three passenger buses and an Izusu Elf truck before coming to a halt.


"As a result of the strong impact, damages incurred by both vehicles. Three occupants of the Toyota van died due to severe head and body injuries, while nine others, including its driver, sustained injuries to different parts of the body,"the report said.
Henry Buzar, coordinator of the Quezon Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, said the driver of the Elf truck was dead on arrival in a hospital in the city, where the three truck helpers were also rushed.
 
The train was allowed to proceed to a station in Lucena city with proper escorts. The driver of the train is now under the custody of the police.
