Barbed-wire fence saves bus passengers
A barbed-wire perimeter fence saved the lives of nine people on board a minibus at past 2p.m. yesterday in barangay Bawo, Sogod town, north of Cebu.
The minibus was bound for Cebu City. The driver, Ondoy Rebuta, lost control when the bus’ leaf spring suspension system malfunctioned.
The bus swerved to the left side of the road but the barbed-wire fence prevented it from falling into a cliff about 15 feet high.
