BACOLOD CITY – Two people were injured after a car crashed into the glass door of a shopping mall in Barangay Singcang-Airport on Thursday night.
Police Lt. Col. Ramel Sarona, chief of the Bacolod Traffic Enforcement Unit, said the victims sustained minor injuries and have since been discharged from the hospital.
Sarona said an employee of a car company was driving the vehicle toward the mall entrance at the back portion of the building when it got stuck on a hump.
The driver allegedly stepped on the gas pedal, causing the car to accelerate and crash into the glass door, hitting even his colleague who was guiding him.
Sarona said the driver lost control of the vehicle.
Fortunately, no mall-goers were injured, as the incident occurred near closing time.
He added that the car company has committed to shoulder the cost of the damage.
Drug Suspect Nabbed
Meanwhile, a 44-year-old fish vendor was arrested in a buy-bust operation in Hacienda Grande, Barangay Robles, La Castellana, Negros Occidental, on Thursday.
The suspect was identified as “Teddy” of Barangay Aguisan.
Police seized from the suspect 35 grams of suspected shabu worth PHP238,000, PHP500 in marked money, an improvised straw scoop, a pair of scissors, an improvised tooter and PHP531 in cash.
