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.
No one was hurt in the incident.
“The bus was hanging by the cliff. The passengers panicked and shouted while others cried,” PO1 Alexander Ancao of Sogod Police told Cebu Daily News.
With the help of the bus conductor, all the passengers managed to get off safely. Correspondents Rhea Ruth V. Rosell And Carmel Loise Matus
