MANILA, Philippines — A white sedan rolled out of the third floor of a multi-level parking building at the Greenhills Shopping Center in San Juan City on Friday afternoon and fell onto the ground level.
Juanito Nocos, the 73-year-old driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle while maneuvering around the Annapolis Car Park, hitting a gray van and a gray Toyota Fortuner SUV parked in the street-level outdoor lot.
The Greenhills Shopping Center management said Nocos was rushed to a nearby hospital and is already in a stable condition.
The mall also apologized to their customers and said authorities are already investigating the accident.
"We apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused some of our shoppers," Greenhills Shopping Center said in a statement.
"The management is currently coordinating with the San Juan local authorities to get a more detailed account of what took place, while reaching out to several other affected vehicle owners," it added.
The driver of the Fortuner, meanwhile, was able to get off the vehicle shortly before the incident.
The mall said that the car park area has been covered with white tarpaulins to keep the debris from the affected levels from falling off the streets.
"As mall operators, Greenhills believes that the safety and enjoyment of our shoppers are of paramount importance," the shopping mall said.
The mall said it will release more information on the status of the car parks and the affected areas.
