Actress Jolina Magdangal, along with her husband Mark Escueta, was brought to the hospital after her vehicle was rear-ended by a passenger van early Monday morning.
Orly Sebolino, the couple’s driver, was driving the two and their son Pele to the airport when a Nissan Urvan hit the back of their Mitsubishi Montero along East Avenue, Quezon City.
The driver of the passenger van was identified as Peter Sevilla, who was also brought to the hospital after being pinned to his due to the crash. Sevilla fell asleep behind the wheel, according to the report from the traffic enforcement unit of the Quezon City Police District.
The force crushed both the back of the SUV and the front part of the van. Hours after the incident, Mark Escueta posted on Facebook, saying that he and his wife were discharged from the hospital at 6 a.m.
“Thank God walang nangyari kay Pele. Naka-carseat and seatbelt siya palagi ‘pag bumabiyahe kami. He did not even cry. Kaya lang may malaking bukol kaagad si Jolina sa likod ng ulo niya. ‘Di namin alam kung anong tumama. Kaya gusto ko sana siyang dalhin sa ospital agad,” Mark said. “Nagpa-CT scan at x–ray si Jolina, ako naman x-ray lang. Wala namang nakitang problema,” he added.
Mark reminded drivers not to drive when they are feeling sleepy as it can cause accidents such as this.
