MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A truck veered off a downhill mountain road and plunged into a ravine in the central Philippines, killing nine workers on board, police said. The workers were traveling back to their office after delivering crude oil and other supplies in a farming village in Bayawan city in Negros Oriental province when their truck overshot the road and fell into a 30-meter- (98-foot-) deep ravine, police said. It was loaded with five drums of crude oil.
