November 30, 2019

No one was reported hurt after two buses carrying foreign athletes and delegates met an accident while they are on their way to Philippine Arena for the opening ceremony of the 30th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games.

Philippine Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee (PHISGOC) spokesperson Jarie Osias confirmed the accident in a chance interview with reporters.

"It was reported that everyone is safe... they just stopped to check on their conditions. They are okay but the window was shattered," Osias said.

He said the incident transpired around 4 pm at Bocaue Toll Exit after a private car in front of the bus suddenly stopped making the other bus bump them. 

Osias said they have yet to confirm which countries were involved in the accident.

"Once they arrived here, we will check on them," he said. 

The opening of the 30th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games will be held in Philippine Arena in Bulacan.

President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to lead the opening ceremony. Ella Dionisio/DMS
