00:00 As seen in the video, a driver in a Skyway in Manila was driving recklessly. He was hoping that the car would push him but he was caught by a truck.
00:11 Cedric Castillo was the one who was hit.
00:13 This white utility van stopped in the outermost lane of Skyway Stage 3 Northbound in the province of Santa Mesa, Manila.
00:28 It happened at 5 in the afternoon this Tuesday while a Skyway Traffic Officer was giving instructions to the driver of the van.
00:42 Behind the van, a man was ready to push the vehicle but suddenly he was avoided. He was hit by a truck and was severely impacted. The van was also damaged. The enforcer also jumped and part of the vehicle was blown up. The Skyway motorcycle unit was also injured.
00:59 The man in green who was standing in front of the van before the incident was not included in the video. But according to GMA Integrated News, they were hoping to pull the van using the service of the traffic enforcer.
01:15 Our driver was trying to push the vehicle slowly. If the vehicle is already under the L3, the vehicle would have been hit by the truck. It was like there was no one to push the vehicle because we could only hear the truck's engine.
01:31 The man we spoke to was in the side mirror of the van. But this is not comparable to the impact of their companion who jumped from the wrecked truck.
01:43 I saw that he was badly injured. His blood was running down his ears and nose. He was taken to the hospital. We talked to him but he didn't talk. He just said he was fighting.
01:57 Unfortunately, he was not able to fight. He survived while in the hospital. The victim was identified as Jeffrey Lambohon. According to his companion, the van was on the road for only five minutes before the accident.
02:12 But they were able to put a dehumano device, an early warning device. This is something that is being investigated by the PNP Highway Patrol Unit NCR. They are also investigating how fast the truck's driver ran.
02:24 According to him, he came from a curb. When he jumped, the two vehicles stopped. He didn't notice. He was directly hit.
02:40 The truck's driver, Noel Abilay, was already investigated for possible involvement in reckless imprudence resulting in homicide with multiple physical injuries and damage to property.
02:53 The highway patrol has not yet released a statement. But authorities reminded the riding public to set a speed limit for the highways for the safety of the motorists and their vehicles.
03:06 To the busy streets, as much as possible, don't go down. Let's look at the incoming traffic before going down. If not, we will be damaged.
03:17 Victims are calling on the owner of the truck to help them with the expenses, including the transportation of Jeffrey to his home in the province.
03:27 For JNA Integrated News, Cedric Castillo, for 24 Hours.
