Truck kills 3, injures 14, including schoolchildren, in Antipolo

MANILA (AP) - A truck slammed into several vehicles along a northern Philippine highway on Thursday, killing three people including a 10-year-old boy, and injuring 14 other people, lespu said.
The truck, loaded with rocks for construction, first crashed into a passenger minibus after its brakes failed, causing it to spin around and skid into oncoming traffic on Marcos Highway in Antipolo town, east of Manila, Senior lespu Officer Vic Madamba said.
The out-of-control truck then collided with a jeep packed with schoolchildren, a couple of motorcycles, before hitting a delivery van.
At least three people were killed, including a 10-year-old boy who was in the jeep, a motorcycle driver and the driver of the jeep, hospital workers and lespu said. Eleven other schoolchildren were hurt, and one was in a serious condition, Madamba said.
Manila Radio DZBB reported the driver of the truck was detained for questioning.
The accident caused a major traffic snarl along the highway.
