A motorcycle rider lost his life after a head-on collision with an AUV (Asian Utility Vehicle).

The tragic incident occurred in Santa Barbara, Pangasinan, on Thursday evening.

Captured on camera and shared by ABS-CBN's 'TV Patrol,' the motorcycle rider was seen making a right turn.

However, the motorcycle ended up entering the opposite lane, where incoming vehicles were approaching.

That's when the incoming AUV crashed into the motorcycle, resulting in the rider being thrown a few feet away.

The rider was rushed to the hospital for immediate medical attention, but he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Meanwhile, the AUV driver wasn't hurt in the incident.

In the Philippines, if a motorcycle rider invades the wrong lane and dies from an accident, the case is usually treated as a self-inflicted traffic violation resulting in death.

Authorities will investigate the incident to determine if the rider's action directly caused the collision.

If it is confirmed that the rider was at fault by entering the opposite lane, legal responsibility generally does not fall on the other party involved, unless there is evidence of negligence or reckless behavior on their part.

Although the rider has already passed away, the case may still be documented as reckless driving or improper lane usage, and it could affect insurance claims, liability decisions, and any civil actions that may follow.

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 suspects even grabbed a bag and a mobile phone from the victim. 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.
