BAGUIO CITY – Three people were killed while another individual was injured after a wayward truck rammed into three vehicles along the accident-prone Bokawkan road early Thursday morning.
Police authorities identified the fatalities as Reneboy Patricio Solano, truck driver and a resident of Ilog, Marilao, Bulacan, Louie Nino Morada and Larry Vasquez, both occupants of the ill-fated truck.
Probers disclosed that the wayward truck was on the descending portion of the road when it allegedly rammed into a Tamaraw FX that was on the opposite direction. The heavy impact of the collision forced the smaller vehicle to move back and hit the frontage of a grocery in the area.
The truck continued to speed down and hit a Hyundai Tucson and a van that was parked along the shoulder of the road before it came to a stop.
The driver of the Tamaraw FX was slightly injured due to the said accident while it took more than an hour for the responding police personnel of the Baguio City Police Office (BCPO), Baguio City Fire Station and emergency responders led by On Call 911 to extricate the occupants of the truck from where they were located.
Police investigators are still conducting an investigation on the circumstances of the tragic vehicular accident that transpired during the wee hours of the morning. HENT
