Two truck helpers died while three others were injured in a road accident in Camalig town, Albay, Monday morning.
Police Regional Office 5 (PRO-5) spokesperson Maj. Malu Calubaquib said investigators have yet to establish the identities of the two fatalities.
Police reported that a truck driven by one Dino Gutlay, 26, was traversing the highway in Barangay Ilawod, Camalig, when it accidentally bumped the center island and then sideswiped another truck driven by Jay Borbe, 35, coming from the opposite direction.
The two truck helpers of Borbe died after they were pinned by Gutlay’s truck.
Calubaquib said that Gutlay and Borbe sustained injuries. An unidentified pedestrian was also hit and injured by the truck.
The injured persons were rushed to the nearest hospital for medical attention. (Nino Luces)
