Before you drive your car through Quezon Avenue tunnel again, read this

Beware of Squatters with rock in hand...

Throwing rocks at passing vehicles is a pastime that seems to be alive and well among the scum of the earth. We already know that this very dangerous act takes place on expressways like SCTEX and on urban roads like Araneta Avenue.

Here are two separate incidents that occurred on two consecutive nights this week, in the same location: the Quezon Avenue tunnel in Quezon City.

The first happened to the car of Cams Anareta's father (top photo). She narrates:

At around 7:30pm on Monday (June 15), my father's car en route to Quezon City Circle and running at 40kph was hit by a huge stone that was intentionally dropped by unknown individuals who were loitering at the top of the tunnel.

The second happened to Ving Del Prado (bottom photo), who shares:

Earlier tonight (June 16), around 9pm, while driving through the Quezon Avenue tunnel--the one that passes underneath EDSA--my car was hit by a big rock thrown from the street above. Luckily, only the rear passenger-side door was hit and not the windshield. I also noticed that there were a lot of rocks already scattered along the road, obviously thrown from above! I opted to keep on driving instead of stopping to inspect the damage. Who knows what could have happened had I stopped? Upon arriving home, I checked my car and saw these deep scratches.

Do you regularly drive this route? If so, consider yourself warned. And to the QC authorities, please: Do your job.

Last Monday night, I drove through this tunnel from EDSA to Circle and indeed, I noticed piles of rocks on the innermost lane. There should be electrified mesh above to protect motorists. People caught doing this should be caned in public.

Di na yata safe ngayon ang kalsada natin
Is that a pajero?
Kawawa naman ang mga motorists dyan sa mga loko na iyan ang hirap-hirap magtrabaho para may pangkain sa pamilya,pambili ng sasakyan atbp. tapos dadagdagn pa nila ng sakit sa bulsa

Do they do this (throwing rocks at motorists) at nighttime lang? Or any time of day?

Anytime of the day since wala naman magawa sa buhay ang mga animal na yan.

Dapat talaga ma-clear na of squatters ang area na yan. Pag well developed na ito, wala na sigurong mga loko loko na ganyan.

It shouldn't be too much trouble to put up some security cameras in that area....

...or, preferrably, set up a sniper to take out the rock throwers.
