Three people lost their lives after a tricycle was struck by a passenger bus in Santo Domingo, Ilocos Sur.

Caught on camera, the tricycle was making a U-turn on the national highway in Barangay San Pablo.

While it was turning, an approaching passenger bus slammed into it, leading to a deadly collision.

Two female passengers of the tricycle were declared dead on arrival after being brought to the hospital.

Meanwhile, the tricycle driver eventually died while being treated in the hospital.

The families of the victims and the bus company have already agreed to a settlement.

In the Philippines, a settlement is possible between the suspect and the victims or their families in a road incident, even if there were casualties.

However, there are important things to consider. The parties can settle the civil aspect, which usually includes financial compensation for damages, hospital bills, burial costs, and other losses.

If the case involves criminal charges like reckless imprudence resulting in hom!cide, a settlement does not automatically erase the criminal liability.

But it can help lessen the penalty or sometimes lead to dismissal if the court sees fit and the offended party no longer wishes to pursue the case.

Any settlement must still be presented to and approved by the court, especially if there is a formal case filed. It is the judge who decides whether to allow it or not.

If the incident was purely accidental and without intent to harm, courts are usually more open to considering settlements.

But if gross negligence or intent is involved, it becomes harder to settle the case privately.

In a previous report by KAMI, a family of three was mercilessly shot and killed inside their store in Barangay Mallorca, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija. Caught by CCTV, three men entered their store, closed the roll up door, and shot the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspect even grabbed a bag and mobile phone from the suspects. In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school 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.
