Two men died while nine others were hurt after the truck they were riding crashed Saturday noon in Ilocos Norte province, police said Sunday.
The victims came from a fiesta carnival and were on they way home when their Isuzu cargo truck (UHF-642) lost its brakes while negotiating a downward, curved road in Barangay Monte, Paoay town, said PO1 Jully Bacud of the Paoay Police Station.
Bacud said the accident happened at around 12:30 pm.
He identified the killed victims as Marvin Bartu, 30, the truck driver, and Roderick Bangit, 18, one of the truck passengers.
The nine injured victims sustained fractured wounds in the different parts of their bodies as some of them jumped off the truck even before it crashed.
Bacud said all 11 victims were working for a company that provides “running light” to fiesta carnivals. Their company is based in Batac City of the same province.
The injured victims were brought to Mariano Marcos Medical Hospital in Batac City, Bacud said./DMS
