2 drag-racing drivers hurt in smashup

Two men were hurt in a vehicular accident in Parañaque City early yesterday.

Police identified the drivers involved as Michael Loyola of Bacoor, Cavite; and Mark Jeffrey Concepcion of Bagong Kalsada, Taguig City.

Loyola, driving a Toyota Corolla (TJM-514), was reportedly drag racing with Concepcion, who was driving a Honda Civic (UGP-123) when the crash happened at around 3:30 a.m. near the Shell gasoline station along Diosdado Macapagal Avenue in Barangay Tambo.

The two reportedly did not seek hospital treatment of their injuries after the crash. A check with the traffic section of the Parañaque police showed that Concepcion and Loyola were not reported as injured.

Parañaque police chief Senior Superintendent Alfredo Valdez described the incident as just a plain vehicular accident. – Mike Frialde
