A tragic vehicle crash at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila on Sunday morning has left two people dead, including a young girl, and injured three others, according to officials.
The Philippine Red Cross reported that the girl was 4 years old, though Transportation Secretary Vivencio Hizon later stated she was 5. The second fatality was identified as an adult male. Both were near the entrance when a black SUV plowed into the area, slamming into a wall.
Three additional individuals sustained injuries and are currently receiving treatment at a nearby hospital, Secretary Hizon confirmed.
The driver of the SUV has been taken into police custody, according to New NAIA Infra Co., the operator of the airport. Authorities have yet to release the driver’s identity or confirm whether the crash was accidental or intentional.
Images from the scene showed dozens of emergency responders cordoning off the crash site as the damaged vehicle was removed. The airport’s entrance area was temporarily closed while authorities conducted initial assessments.
In a statement, the airport operator said it is working closely with police and other agencies to investigate the incident. No disruption to flight operations was reported, but airport security was visibly heightened following the event.
This incident has raised concerns about pedestrian safety and traffic management at the busy airport, which serves as the primary international gateway to the Philippines.
An investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing.
