Traffic Gridlock in Quezon City After Van Breaks Down in EDSA-Cubao Tunnel

Quezon City Traffic Gridlock Caused by Broken-Down Van Quezon City, Philippines – A broken-down closed van caused significant traffic delays in the EDSA-Cubao tunnel during the morning rush hour on June 6, 2025. The incident, which began around 5:20 am, led to a substantial backup of vehicles in the southbound lane. DZBB reporter Carlo Mateo captured the event on video, showing the extent of the traffic jam and the subsequent arrival of a wrecker to remove the disabled van. "The closed van completely blocked one lane, causing a major traffic jam," Mateo reported. "It took some time for the wrecker to arrive and clear the obstruction." The incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by commuters in Metro Manila, highlighting the need for efficient traffic management systems and improved infrastructure. The quick response from authorities and the eventual clearing of the van, however, prevented further delays and disruption.
