On the same day, a blue sport utility vehicle (SUV) that passed through the same area also encountered problems due to the hole.
The hole had a cover, but it was insufficient to fully conceal it, making it a hazard for motorists.
The hole is part of the box culvert drainage system along Mabini Street, where many similar openings lack proper warning signs. Some of the drainage holes remain completely uncovered.
The Metro Manila 3rd District Engineering Office of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) confirmed that the project is under their jurisdiction.
"Supposed to be dapat meron siyang nakapaikot na naka-elevate, at least visible siya sa mata ng motorist. Kaya as soon as malaman namin na ganoon 'yung situation, pinaayos po namin agad kay contractor," said Engr. Jose Mangulabnan, Project Engineer of the Metro Manila 3rd District Engineering Office.
Workers in the area stated that they were already scheduled to cover the potholes soon.
The incident highlights the importance of clear warning signs and proper maintenance of roadworks to prevent further accidents and inconvenience to motorists.
