BACOLOD City – A man and his nephew died after their motorcycle was sideswiped by a trailer truck at Hacienda Busay, Barangay Efegenio, Talisay City, Negros Occidental last Saturday.
The victims were identified by police as Allan Bedonia, 55; and his nephew Rodrigo Bedonia, 22, both residents of Barangay Dos Hermanas.
Master Sergeant Michael Mcdowell, Chief Investigator of Talisay City Police Station, said the victims were on their way home from a christening in the neighboring city of Silay when they were hit by the rear part of a truck driven by Jose Kenneth Verbo, 42, of Barangay Tinampa-an, Cadiz City.
An actual footage of the accident captured by a dash cam was posted by a netizen showing the speeding truck hitting the motorcycle at the inner lane, Mcdowell said.
Based on police investigation, the truck and the motorcycle were traveling to the same direction when the truck overtook the bike and miscalculated its movement.
Mcdowell said the victims were thrown off the motorcycle, leading to serious injuries despite wearing helmets.
Allan suffered head injuries while Rodrigo might have been ran over by the truck, Mcdowell said.
They were both taken to a hospital but were pronounced dead on arrival, he added.
Mcdowell said they are waiting for the decision of the victims’ families on the filing of charges against Verbo, who is detained at the police station.
