BACOLOD City – Two persons were wounded after a Eucalyptus tree fell on their vehicle parked on Magsaysay Street, Barangay Singcang-Airport here yesterday.
Police Major Ruel Culanag, head of the Bacolod Traffic Authority Office (BTAO), told Aksyon Radyo Bacolod that the two victims were inside a delivery truck preparing their goods for delivery when the tree fell on the vehicle.
Culanag said the two victims were injured by a freezer inside the vehicle which was also damaged.
Traffic was temporarily rerouted in the scene of the incident as the tree blocked the road.
Personnel from the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) were immediately deployed to the area to remove the tree.
Culanag said the uprooted tree was already old and its roots were already weak against strong winds.
Bacolod is experiencing heavy rains and strong winds since Sunday night brought about by severe Tropical Storm “Maring.”
