One person died in an accident involving two trailer trucks on C5-Ortigas Flyover southbound in Barangay Ugong, Pasig City on Saturday night.
The fatality was the helper of one truck driver.
The truck was transporting bottles of softdrinks when it bumped into another trailer truck which earlier broke down.
The truck driver said an Elf truck overtook his vehicle and he did not notice the other trailer truck, GMA News reporter Gabriel Gonzales said.
