A motorcycle rider lost his life after falling off his vehicle and getting run over by a dump truck.

The heartbreaking accident happened along the national highway in Barangay Poblacion, Kabacan, Cotabato.

Based on CCTV footage, the rider fell from his motorcycle and ended up beneath the passing dump truck.

Investigators said the rider attempted to overtake the dump truck but ended up in the driver's blind spot, leading to the tragic outcome.

In a report by GMA 7's 'Balitanghali,' the rider reportedly slowed down a bit, resulting in the truck to hit the rider before totally falling down.

The 38-year-old victim was announced dead on the spot. Meanwhile, the truck driver is already in police custody. He refused to give any statement about the incident.

In the Philippines, if a driver accidentally hits and kills another motorist, the case is usually treated as "reckless imprudence resulting in hom!cide."

This is a criminal offense under the Revised Penal Code. The police will investigate the scene, gather evidence such as CCTV footage and witness statements, and determine whether there was negligence or violation of traffic rules.

The driver may be arrested, especially if found at fault, and charges can be filed in court.

However, in some cases, a settlement between the driver and the victim's family may happen. Even with a settlement, the criminal case may still proceed depending on the circumstances and the court's decision.

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.
