Two individuals died after being hit by a truck that crashed into a computer shop in Murcia, Negros Occidental.

Based on investigations by the authorities, the truck driver lost control while navigating a downslope-curved portion of the road.

The driver eventually lost full control of the vehicle, and it malfunctioned, causing it to crash into the computer shop.

The victims who were inside the establishment were immediately rushed to the hospital, but sadly, they were both declared dead on arrival.

According to a report by TV5's 'Frontline Tonight,' the truck driver turned himself in to the authorities.

In the Philippines, if a truck driver loses control of the vehicle and ends up killing people, the driver may be charged with reckless imprudence resulting in homicid3 under Article 365 of the Revised Penal Code.

This charge applies when someone causes death due to lack of precaution, carelessness, or failure to follow traffic rules.

If the investigation shows that the driver was speeding, failed to maintain the vehicle, ignored road signs, or drove carelessly on a curved or sloped road, these may all be considered signs of recklessness.

The penalties may include imprisonment and the payment of damages to the victim’s family.

However, if it is proven that the incident was unavoidable and the driver exercised proper care, it may be treated as a fortuitous event, although this is often difficult to establish.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
