(UPDATE) A BUS that lost its brakes slammed into a jeep at the North Luzon Expressway Tuesday, killing two people and injuring several others, GMA Network's "Flash Report" said on the same day.

The report said the DST bus was overtaking a mini-bus when it lost its brakes and hit a jeep that was approaching the tollway.

The injured have been taken to the Karuhatan Hospital, the report said.

================

I don't think it's a matter of losing brakes. I don't think the bus drivers realize that because of their size, they need more braking room. They can't stop on a dime no matter how hard they press their brakes. And then people die.
