A tragic car crash claimed the lives of a couple and their three-year-old daughter in Malungon, Sarangani, after their car collided with a truck along the national highway in Barangay Talus early Wednesday morning.

According to a report by Efren Mamac on GMA Regional TV One Mindanao, the family was traveling from General Santos City to Davao City when the incident occurred.

Police investigations revealed that the car veered into the opposite lane and collided head-on with a 10-wheeler truck.

“Mayroon diyan bagong asphalt na portion na sa gitna ang asphalt then ang outer lane is yung sementado. Nahulog ang kotse doon sa sementado then ibinalik kaya pumunta sa kabilang lane, yung linya ng 10-wheeler, yung truck, 'yon na,” said Police Lt. Col. Geovanni Ladeo, Chief of the Malungon Municipal Police Station.

The truck driver is currently in police custody and may face charges pending further investigation.

Meanwhile, in a separate incident in Barangay Dalapitan, Matalam, Cotabato, several passengers—including four children—were injured after the multicab they were riding in crashed into a tree and fell into a rice field.

Police reports indicate that the group was heading to a wake of their relatives when the vehicle’s steering wheel allegedly locked.

“Paglarga nila, a few meters away sa kanilang bahay, sabi ng driver, nag-lock yung manibela niya then nag-swerve, nabangga niya ang isang puno ng niyog then nahulog doon sa may ricefield,” said Police Staff Sergeant Joselito Palmaera.

All passengers are now recovering from their injuries.
