MANILA - Traffic has eased at the South Luzon Expressway after authorities have cleared an accident area in Skyway. Metropolitan Manila Development Authority traffic reporter Charlie Nosares said the traffic bureau already took over to help ease the situation. As of 12:00 p.m., "maluwag na ang SLEX," he said. At least 22 people died after a bus fell off the Skyway on Monday morning. A Pacita-bound Don Mariano Transit Corp. bus (UVC 916) fell off the elevated part of Skyway in Barangay Marcelo Green, Parañaque City and plunged into the west service road of the southbound lane of South Luzon Expressway (SLEx) at around 5 a.m. An aluminum van (ULX 874) reportedly carrying at least 2 people was crushed after the bus fell on top of it. The incident caused heavy traffic along SLEx.
