NATARANTA LANG? Driver ng SUV na nangaladkad ng mga pasahero sa NAIA, sinabing nataranta siya

The driver of the SUV that rammed several passengers at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) defended himself from the accusations that his actions were intentional.

In an interview, Leo Gonzales, the driver of the SUV said that he unintentionally put his foot in the accelerator instead of the brakes which was suppose to be his countermeasure to a vehicle that suddenly appeared in front of him.

After putting his foot in the wrong pedal, the SUV accelerated, ramming the outer railing and the people in the walkway near the terminal entrance.

The incident resulted to the passing of two individuals, including a 5-year-old child.

Heavy equipment was used to rescue one of the victims who was trapped under the vehicle.
