(SPOT.ph) Commuters in Quezon City weren't too happy this morning, November 22, after a cement mixer flipped on its side and occupied two lanes along Commonwealth Avenue. It was reported that the incident occurred at 4:30 a.m. and it was only at around 10:00 a.m. when the truck was removed near the Tandang Sora flyover.

It didn't help that the MRT-3 line experienced interruption at 6 a.m. A provisional service operation was implemented from Shaw Boulevard Station to Taft Station, both northbound and southbound, until about 7 a.m. Despite continued operation, there were still long lines for those who rode the train from North Avenue.
