Tragically, he fell onto the side of the truck where he was rolled over.
He was rushed to the hospital but eventually died.
In the Philippines, if a driver accidentally kills a cyclist, the case generally falls under Reckless Imprudence Resulting in Homicide under Article 365 of the Revised Penal Code.
The severity of the case depends on factors such as negligence or recklessness, where the driver could face harsher penalties if they were speeding, intoxicated, or violating traffic laws.
If the driver exercised due diligence and the accident was truly unavoidable, the penalties might be reduced.
In many cases, the driver and the victim’s family may opt for a civil settlement instead of pursuing criminal charges.
Possible consequences include imprisonment, payment of damages to the victim’s family, and suspension or revocation of the driver’s license by the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
If the court determines that the driver had no intent to kill and did not act recklessly, lighter penalties may be imposed, but gross negligence could lead to more serious legal consequences.
