MANILA, March 28 (Xinhua) -- Two people were killed on Friday after their sport utility vehicle (SUV) was swept away by a strong river current in Benguet province in the northern Philippines, said local police.
The incident occurred shortly after 1 p.m. local time along the Agno River. Four others on board managed to escape the vehicle.
According to the police, the SUV attempted to cross the swollen river, but was spun by the current and carried about 100 meters downstream before coming to a stop, half-submerged in the water. ■
