Makati Police released street video showing the high school students crossing a street in Makati City, located in the Manila region, when they were struck by a wayward jeepney, a flamboyant passenger truck and a popular mode of travel in the Philippines.

Investigators said the driver, identified as 31-year-old Crisalde Tamparong, claimed the brakes stopped working, but CCTV video shows that he stopped the vehicle after hitting the students, the Manila Bulletin reported.

Tamparong does not have a driver’s license and a preliminary drug test came back positive, Makati Police Chief Col. Rogelio Simon told the Philippines Daily Inquirer.
