At least nine people were killed and 10 others injured in a three-car crash along a highway early on Tuesday morning in Cardona town in Rizal province, east of Manila, Philippines, police said.
Police said the accident, which happened around 5:30 a.m. local time, involved a dump truck, a trailer truck and a passenger jeepney.
The brake of one of the trucks may have failed while negotiating a curve, causing it to plunge into several houses on a ravine, while the other truck collided with a jeepney, according to the police.
Among the dead was the driver of the truck that fell into the ravine.
