PAGADIAN CITY,
Zamboanga del Sur, Feb. 10 (PNA) -– A public school teacher was killed while 11
others were injured when a van carrying an athletic delegation from Jolo
plunged into a cliff Sunday morning in Buug, Zamboanga Sibugay.
Buug police station
commander Insp. Roex Quierrez said the accident took place around 11:30 a.m.
Sunday along the national highway in Barangay Bulaan of said municipality.
Quierrez said the van
plunged into the cliff after its driver, Abdulajid Lukman, 41, lost control of
the steering wheel while negotiating a curve in Barangay Bulaan in Buug.
He said Lukman and
his 11 companions aboard the van were part of the Sulu Athletic delegation to
the ARMMAA meet.

Lukman, a teacher, died on the spot while the 11 others were rushed to the
hospital for treatment.
The ARMAA is anchored
on the theme “Bridging Gaps Towards Unity through Sports.”

except for Abdulajid, the other victims include six athletes, a school
supervisor, a school principal, a head teacher, a teacher, and a school nurse.
