A passenger bus crashed killing two passengers after skidding on a wet road drenched by Tropical Storm Ma On in the Philippines today.

Footage shows the vehicle lying on its side after crashing into an electric pole in the municipality of Naguilian in Isabela province on August 23.

Local media said two commuters died in the accident and a number of others were injured. Police said the wounded have been taken to the nearest hospital to be treated.

The driver claimed he lost control of the brakes, causing the bus carrying eight people to skid onto the roadside.

State weather bureau PAGASA said Severe Tropical Storm Ma-On touched down in Isabela province at 10:30 am local time on August 22.

It brought torrential rains and floods in the country's north, triggering the suspension of classes and government work in the nation's capital and nearby provinces until Wednesday.
