MANILA, Philippines — A supervisor of a merchant wholesaler who was riding a bicycle to work was injured after he was hit by a motorcycle rider in Quezon City yesterday.

Eric Malana, a supervisor at Absolute Sales Corp., was traversing Commonwealth Avenue at past 8 a.m. when he reportedly changed lanes and was hit by a motorcycle driven by Deejay Chavez.

Malana sustained injuries on the head and hip when he fell to the ground. Rescuers brought him to a hospital for medical treatment.
