“Maraming taong naglabasan at sinasabing binabangga na daw po yung sasakyan namin. Tapos tiningnan ko sa likod, ay oo nga binabangga na tayo. Hindi po gaano kalakas pero mapapagalaw ka naman,” said Rowena Piñera, the van owner who was inside the vehicle.
Van driver Amelito Dula approached the SUV to check on its driver.
“Tinapik ko yung tagiliran niya, tapos sabay silip ko. Siya lang mag-isa, naka[subsob] siya sa manibela. Sabi ko, pag ikot ko sa kabila, sinabihan ko si sir… katukin ko na lang. Sabi ni sir, huwag mo na katukin. Baka may baril daw,” he recounted.
They called the police, but the driver stayed inside for 20 minutes.
When police arrived, the SUV suddenly moved again, hit the van once more, reversed, and crashed into the gas station before stopping.
Once calm returned, the driver stepped out and seemed normal but confused.
“Sabi ko, ‘Sir, ano ba nararamdaman niyo? Alam niyo pa ba nangyayari?’ Sabi niya, ‘Hindi ko alam. Ang alam ko lang may tumama sakin dito, masakit nga eh,’” Dula said.
Authorities said the 68-year-old driver is a retired US Navy personnel. No serious injuries were reported, and the damage is still being assessed.
