The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) said the incident occurred at around 3:30 a.m. along the southbound lane of EDSA in Barangay San Martin de Porres.
Initial investigation showed the vehicle was traveling from Aurora Boulevard toward P. Tuazon Boulevard when its rear right tire allegedly blew out.
