MANILA – “Banana Sundae” mainstay Jobert Austria, also known as Kuya Jobert, figured in a car accident before dawn Friday, November 20, on his way home from the show’s taping.

Austria’s vehicle hit a concrete barrier on Araneta Avenue near Del Monte Avenue in Talayan, Quezon City, leaving him injured and the windshield, roof and front part of his car damaged.

According to reports, it took a while before the comedian was rescued as the ambulance came from the venue of the APEC Summit venue.

Austria was then brought to the emergency room of St. Luke’s Medical Center. As of posting, it has not yet been disclosed what injuries he has sustained from the self-accident.

It can be recalled that the Kapamilya host earlier attempted to jump from the fifth floor of a motel in Quezon City after allegedly receiving death threats.
