Four people figure in road accident

CEBU, Philippines - Four people were rushed to the South General Hospital after they figured in a road accident along the national road in San Fernando town past midday yesterday.

Initial investigation revealed that Margie Bago, 14, a resident of Carcar City, was walking along the road in barangay San Isidro, San Fernando when she was hit by the motorcycle with temporary plate number 04-3842 driven by Espra Welmer Gabisan, 23. Two other men were also on board the motorcycle – Ramil Limbaga, 24, and a certain Amay.

After Gabisan hit Bago, the motorcycle reportedly lost balance and threw the passengers off to the road.

PO1 Miguel Bernabe said Gabisan and his companions also sustained injuries. Amay even reportedly hit his head hard on the road. “Niliki man gani ni iyang ulo human naigo sa sementong dalan… mag-ampo lang ta nga dili jud to ingon grabe iyang naangkon. Tan-aw nako habal-habal driver ni si Gabisan,” Bernabe said.

Gabisan’s motorcycle is now under the custody of the police. — Gabriel C. Bonjoc/JMO   (FREEMAN NEWS)
