BACOLOD CITY — A 16-year-old boy died and his 25-year-old uncle was injured after they struck a road sign and ended up near a bakeshop in Barangay Isio, Cauayan, Negros Occidental, late Thursday night.
In a radio interview, Police Lt. Col. Norberto Barniso, chief of the Cauayan Municipal Police Station, said the victims were on their way home around 11 p.m. after attending a lights-on ceremony at the public plaza and a drinking session when they figured in a motorcycle accident.
Due to intoxication, the older victim, identified as “Jerry,” may have lost control of the motorcycle they were riding and they were thrown off toward the bakeshop, he added.
The teenager was declared dead in a hospital due to head injuries, while Jerry is recuperating.
Police said Jerry was driving a motorcycle without pertinent documents.
