Patay ang isang driver matapos maaksidente ang isang delivery truck sa isang pababang bahagi ng kalsada sa highway sa Barangay Abongan, Taytay, hilagang Palawan, ayon sa Palawan Police Provincial Office.
Kinilala ang biktima bilang si alias Romy, 46 taong gulang, residente ng Barangay San Manuel, Puerto Princesa City. Siya ang nagmamaneho ng isang puting Isuzu Forward aluminum van na may panel truck body.
Sa paunang imbestigasyon, napag-alamang galing sa Puerto Princesa City ang sasakyan at papunta sana sa Taytay, Palawan. May karga itong mga produktong pangkalakalan.
Habang binabaybay ang isang pababang kurbadang bahagi ng kalsada, nawalan umano ng kontrol ang sasakyan dahil sa problema sa makina, dahilan upang ito ay maaksidente.
Nagtamo ng matinding pinsala ang driver at agad isinugod ng mga rumespondeng tauhan ng MDRRMO sa Northern Palawan Provincial Hospital para sa gamutan.
Gayunman, idineklara siyang patay ng doktor bandang alas-1:45 ng hapon sa parehong araw.
