MANILA, Philippines\u2014Two people were killed after a wall that was being repaired collapsed and fell on them on Monday night in Quezon City.<\/p>\n\n
Norma Magada, 44, and Robin Leuterio, 22, had just finished eating dinner on the hood of their jeepney which was parked on the street when the accident happened.<\/p>\n\n
Their mangled bodies were later retrieved from the pile of rubble, Chief Insp. Rodelio Marcelo of the Quezon City Police District\u2019s Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit said.<\/p>\n\n
The incident happened at 8:40 p.m. Monday at the corner of Mauban and Malasimbo Streets in Barangay (village) Masambong where the perimeter wall of the LG Atkimson warehouse was being renovated.<\/p>\n\n
Marcelo said that concrete blocks were being added on top of the old perimeter wall to raise its height to that of a three to four-story building.<\/p>\n\n
He added that before the accident, there were strong winds and rainfall in the area, followed by a loud boom coming from an electrical transformer.<\/p>\n\n
At that time, Magada, her husband Reynaldo and Leuterio had just finished eating dinner on the hood of their jeepney.<\/p>\n\n
Magada later went inside the vehicle to get something while Leuterio was standing nearby when a portion of the wall collapsed, burying the two victims, according to case investigator PO3 Hermogenes Capili.<\/p>\n\n
A total of six jeepneys parked on the street were also crushed beneath the rubble.<\/p>\n\n
Marcelo said they have yet to talk to the project contractor. Investigators were also trying to determine if the renovation was covered by a building permit issued by the city government.<\/p>\n\n
