An ambulance was involved in a road accident that left five people injured.

Captured on video, the ambulance was seen driving along the national highway in Barangay Bonifacio, Surigao City.

It suddenly lost balance, flipped onto its side, and crashed into a roadside post, even hitting a parked motorcycle before finally stopping.

Based on investigations mentioned in TV5's 'Frontline Pilipinas Weekend,' the ambulance had come from Agusan Del Norte and was en route to deliver a patient to Surigao City.

The ambulance reportedly avoided a motorcycle, but the driver lost control of the vehicle.

The road was also slippery because of the rain.

Injured were the driver of the ambulance, the patient, and three other passengers. They were immediately brought to a hospital for immediate medical attention.

In the Philippines, the speed of ambulance response to a medical emergency can vary depending on several factors such as location, traffic conditions, and availability of emergency vehicles.

In highly urbanized areas like Metro Manila, response times are generally faster, often within 10 to 30 minutes, especially if the local government or a private hospital has a well-equipped and staffed emergency system.

However, in remote or rural areas, the response may take longer due to limited access, poor road conditions, or a shortage of ambulances and trained personnel.

The efficiency of response also depends on how quickly the emergency is reported and how well-coordinated the local emergency services are.

In a previous report by KAMI, a family of three was mercilessly shot and killed inside their store in Barangay Mallorca, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija. Caught by CCTV, three men entered their store, closed the roll-up door, and shot the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspects even grabbed a bag and a mobile phone from the victim. In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but, being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
