Hi, my name is anonymous doctor who works at the Chinese General Hospital. A dog was blocking my SUV and I waited for it to move. As I drove forward a train came out of nowhere and smashed my SUV. Luckily I survived. For some reason there were no warning lights or automatic barriers to indicate a train was coming. That spells big lawsuit. Watch the video for yourself.

A doctor managed to survive after her SUV got hit then dragged by a train of the Philippine National Railways (PNR) in Sampaloc, Manila.
In a "24 Oras" report by Corinne Catibayan on Friday, a CCTV footage showed an SUV traversing P. Margal Street, Barangay 474 on Thursday night.
The vehicle waited for a dog to cross the street before proceeding.
But as the SUV moved foward, a train of the PNR passed through, hitting and dragging the vehicle.
The SUV's left side and the window from the driver's side were destroyed.
The doctor, who is working at the Chinese General Hospital, said she came from duty and was supposed to collect payments for her house for rent.
According to the doctor, she did not see the PNR personnel waving signs because the place was dark. She also did not hear the sirens of the train.
Barangay officials immediately responded on the matter.
The doctor did not sustain any injury.

Police said personal grudge is likely the reason behind the stabbing of a man in barangay Alambijud, Argao town, Cebu on Sunday evening, September 5, 2021.
Police identified the victim as Jellyboy Bulay, 37, who was stabbed by his neighbor, Jaime Algones, 57, while having a drinking session outside their houses on Sunday evening.
According to Police Staff Sergeant Clifford Butron, the investigator of the case, Bulay and Algones were both construction workers in a construction site in Mandaue City. This is where he believes the problem began.
Butron added that the suspect tends to have a different attitude when intoxicated, which led to the stabbing.
Quoting initial investigation, Butron said that the victim was stabbed with a 13-inch long knife.
Fortunately, the victim saw the suspect before he could stab him. Bulay saw a piece of wood, which he used to strike the suspect first. The suspect managed to still stab the victim in the left portion of his body during the scuffle.
