The victims were first rushed to Don Severo Verallo District Hospital in Bogo City where Ryan was declared dead. Michael on the other hand was transferred to Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center.
SPO1 Ramonito Canja said the cargo truck driven by Freddie Muñez Cabarles, 35, of Barangay Banban, Bogo City was parked on the roadside because its front tire was flat.
Cabarles was allegedly changing the tire when he suddenly heard a crash sound behind his vehicle. The police said the cargo truck did not have an early warning device that could have warned the victims ahead.
Cabarles is now detained at the Bogo City police station while charges for reckless imprudence resulting in homicide and serious physical injuries are being prepared against him. (FREEMAN)
