A defective train of the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) 3 rammed a concrete barrier of the Pasay City terminal then jumped off the tracks and stopped at the intersection of Taft Avenue and EDSA yesterday, injuring at least 36 passengers and damaging several passing vehicles.
Rescuers removed injured passengers from the front coach of the stalled train and took them to nearby hospitals.
There were no fatalities but the accident caused a huge traffic jam in the area, stalling the northbound lane of EDSA. #local #current_events
