NLEX-SCTEX Traffic Senior Manager Robin Ignacio told Super Radyo dzBB that the vehicle was plying the northbound lane of the tollway at 3:15 p.m. when the incident occurred.“More than 2 kilometers ‘yung report of slow moving traffic sa area. Finull stop din namin para mai-counterflow ang tow truck. Pagkaayos na pagkaayos po pwede na siyang i-go kaagad,” said Ignacio.
On July 31, motorists endured heavy traffic of up to 10 kilometers as flood waters as high as tires of cars hit the Tulaoc overpass near San Simon, Pampanga exit. “Napababa na po namin ang level from 0.65 meters to kahapon, nasa 0.4 meters na lang. Sa kabilang direction, nasa 0.25 meters na lang,” he said.“Sa ngayon 17 suction trucks, sinu-suction po [ang tubig] then dina-dump namin sa malayong area para di na bumalik [ang tubig]. Maliban pa ‘yung pump na tuloy-tuloy na nagp-pump out. Itutuloy-tuloy namin ito hanggang sa bumaba at comfortable na dumaan ang mga sasakyan,” the NLEX official added.
Heavy rains brought about by the enhanced habagat, and Typhoons Egay and Falcon caused widespread floods in parts of the country including Luzon and Metro Manila.
