The incident occurred around 2 a.m. along a road in San Jose del Monte City. According to authorities, the electric post collapsed after it was accidentally hit by a black SUV.

The SUV driver, a 36-year-old man, turned out to be the victim’s uncle.

In an interview with Unang Balita of GMA News, Remedios Joseph, a local official, stated that the impact of the post was fatal due to its weight and the force with which it fell.
