ROXAS City – A motorcycle driver sustained serious injuries after colliding with a dump truck at a highway crossing in Barangay Lawaan here early Monday morning, June 29.
The victim, identified as alias “Micka,” 24, a resident of Sitio Bang-ogay, Barangay Natividad, Pilar, Capiz, is currently receiving medical treatment at a local hospital.
Initial investigation by the Roxas City Police Station revealed that the incident occurred around 3:20 a.m. near a local bank. Micka was reportedly traveling at high speed toward the city proper when the motorcycle slammed into a dump truck driven by 57-year-old alias “Robert,” a resident of Barangay Dinginan, Roxas City.
