Police authorities said a person lost his life after a motorcycle and a commuter van collided on Friday night, March 28, in Barangay Aramaywan, Quezon, southern Palawan.
The fatality was identified in a report by the Palawan Police Provincial Office (PalPPO) as a certain “Val,” a 23-year-old helper and resident of Barangay Aramaywan, who was driving the motorcycle. The driver of the commuter van involved in the collision was identified as a certain “Jomel,” 29 years old, and a resident of Barangay Isugod, also in Quezon.
According to the investigation, the commuter van was traveling along the national highway from Barangay Aramaywan towards Barangay Alfonso XIII when the victim allegedly attempted to overtake an L300 van and veered into the opposite lane, directly into the path of the oncoming commuter van.
The motorcycle driver reportedly tried to avoid the oncoming vehicle but lost control, resulting in a head-on collision.
The victim sustained severe head injuries and multiple wounds on various parts of his body. He was rushed to the Quezon Medicare Hospital but was declared dead while undergoing treatment.
