A woman passed away in a traffic incident involving a motorcycle and a utility vehicle at 10:31 p.m. on December 20 in Roxas, Palawan.
Initial reports from the Roxas Municipal Police Station (MPS) stated that the incident involved a Euro Motorcycle 125 driven by a man identified as alias Ken, a resident of Barangay IV, Roxas, who was with the woman who died.
The other vehicle was a Nissan Urvan driven by a man identified as alias Rene, a resident of Taytay.
According to the police investigation, the motorcycle was traveling from Barangay Poblacion toward Barangay IV in a north-to-south direction. Upon reaching the south diversion road, the incoming Nissan Urvan, which was traveling from Puerto Princesa City to Taytay, executed a left turn.

Responding personnel from the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) immediately brought the injured individuals to Roxas Medicare Hospital for medical treatment.
The driver of the Nissan Urvan was unharmed in the incident.
