Killed in the accident were Julius Cañete, 21, and Robert Namo, 20, both residents of Hinigaran town.
Police Staff Sergeant Vedienold Peñalber, traffic investigator of Hinigaran Municipal Police Station, said the two fatalities were allegedly speeding on their way back to their workplace around 7:32 p.m. when they hit another motorcycle, which was making a left turn on their way home.
