Killed in the accident was Ernesto Espinosa, 57, of Barangay Baliwagan.
Police Major Bonifacio Aral Jr., town police chief, said that Espinosa was supposed to send home his female passenger when a motorcycle reportedly overtook him.
However, the motorcycle rider lost control and sideswiped Espinosa, hitting his head with a lumber, Aral said.
