7 hurt in 4-vehicle collision on NLEX

Seven people were injured as four vehicles crashed along North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) on Friday morning.

The incident happened at around 7 a.m. near Meycauayan Exit and caused heavy build-up of that stretched up to three kilometers.

According to Angelo Angeles of the NLEX Traffic Control Room, two vans, a pick-up and an AUV collided amid heavy rain that rendered almost zero visibility on the highway.

The victims sustained minor injuries and were taken to the nearest hospital for treatment.

The six lanes affected by the incident have been cleared and declared passable since the vehicles were already removed from the area. Rose Cabrales, Radyo Inquirer; Micah Atienza, INQUIRER.net intern    /kga
