A cargo bus carrying vegetables crashed into concrete barriers along the EDSA Busway near Quezon Avenue early Sunday, heavily damaging the vehicle's front end and triggering traffic delays.

An initial investigation by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) indicated the bus was traveling from Abra when the driver fell asleep upon reaching Quezon City.

The bus driver was not injured in the crash. However, authorities said he will face charges of reckless imprudence resulting in damage to property.

The MMDA deployed a tow truck to remove the damaged bus, while workers cleared the concrete barriers struck during the collision.

The incident caused heavy traffic along the southbound lane of EDSA-Quezon Avenue.
