Whenever there is a national holiday, the number of vehicular accidents increases according to Land Transportation Office (LTO)

From December 23 to December 26, 2015, a total of 172 accidents were reported, in which 97 of the crashes involves motorcycles.

A video of triple accidents involving two motorcycles and a van is getting rounds online.

It is not clear where the accidents happened but based on further research, it appears that the crash happened in 20 De Julio Street, Infanta, Quezon Province.

Considering that the said town is mostly rural and traffic rules are not fully implemented, it is not a wonder why accidents like this happened.

The video shows a van travelling in a moderate speed when a speeding motorcycle hit the van’s left side. Another motorcycle travelling in moderate speed opposite of the van was also hit by a “flying” passenger of the motorcycle that hit the van.

Both motorcycles have two passengers each and all were not wearing any helmet.

The accident happened on December 25 according to the original video poster and it is suspected that the passengers of the motorcycle that hit the van were under the influence of liquor.

The severity of the injuries is not clear, but based on the video, the two will certainly spend their Christmas or probably New Year’s Day inside the hospital.
