THE THIRD accident in three days on the Bridge of the Americas, each time blocking traffic in both directions, took place early Sunday afternoon, August 13, when a sedan was sandwiched between two buses.
Earlier incidents involved a taxi doing a U-turn on the bridge, and colliding with two pirate cars, and another when a motor cyclist ran into the back of the car, catapulting the pillion rider onto the car roof.
