MANILA, Philippines – Television host and actress Alyssa Alano was
badly injured after she figured in an accident in Marikina City at
around 4 a.m. on Sunday.
Initial investigations said Alano was speeding along the westbound
lane of Marcos Highway near SM City Marikina when her sport utility
vehicle hit the concrete barrier of the Metropolitan Manila Development
Authority at the center island.
The metal part attached to the concrete barrier pierced through Alano’s abdomen.
The actress was immediately rushed to the hospital.
Aside from Alano, another car got involved in the accident and its four passengers were also hurt.
Case officer SPO2 Ignacio Lim Jr. said her SUV cross to the opposed lane and sideswiped a Honda Sedan (WTF 449) driven by Guiseppe Arabejo, 23, of Lot 11 Block 15 Milkyway, Ridgemont Executive Village, Taytay, Rizal.
“The actress’ vehicle overturned causing injuries to her, Arabejo and his four other passengers,” Lopez said.
Staff of Marikina Rescue 161 brought the victims to the Marikina Valley Medical Center.
Alano’s manager Annie Ayroso said her talent was on her way to a drug store to buy medicines for stomach pains. The abdominal cramps must have caused her confusion, Lim quoted Ayroso as saying.
The investigation noted that Alano’s airbag malfunctioned and a steel metal pierced into Alano’s side.
Alano, formerly of Viva Hotbabes, had a version of the song (Kiss Me) “Keys Me” which became popular in 2006.
