MANILA, Philippines- Tinangka umanong sagasaan ng isang special utility vehicle na may plakang No. 7 ang isang babaeng traffic enforcer matapos mahuling dumaraan sa bus lane nitong Linggo ng gabi.
Naka-assign ang vehicle registration plates na may numerong 7 sa mga senador.
Base sa online post ng Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation ng Department of Transportation, nasita ang sasakyan sa northbound EDSA lane ng Guadalupe Station ng alas-6:28 ng gabi.
“While assisting buses to move forward, Secretariat Sarah Barnachea of the DOTr-SAICT noticed the white SUV illegally passing through the bus lane. Secretariat Barnachea approached the vehicle to apprehend and verify the driver’s identity. However, the driver, instead of cooperating, attempted to run over Secretariat Barnachea and flee the scene,” saad sa post.
Isa pang traffic enforcer, kinilalang si Secretariat Reyno, ang tumulong kay Barnachea saa tangkang paghuli sa driver at kanyang pasahero.
“Despite their efforts to approach the driver politely and perform their duties, the driver continued to resist and eventually reversed the vehicle until reaching the open barrier, where they managed to escape,” ayon pa sa post.
“Adding to the disrespectful behavior, a passenger in the back seat of the SUV raised their middle finger at the officers as they fled.”
Sinabi ng Special Action and Intelligence Committee na iteturn-over nito ang kopya ng video sa Land Transportation Office (LTO) para sa Show Cause Order laban sa violator.
“We condemn the actions of the driver and the passenger in this incident,” giit ni Jonathan Gesmundo, Executive Assistant to the DOTr Secretary.
“Our officers were simply doing their jobs to maintain order and ensure the smooth flow of traffic. We will work closely with the authorities to identify and apprehend the individuals responsible and hold them accountable for their actions.”
Sa kasalukuyan ay wala pang pahayag ang Senado ukol dito. RNT/SA
