Both the rider and his companion were thrown from the motorcycle, sustaining serious injuries. The City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) quickly dispatched a rescue team to the scene after receiving an emergency call.
However, as the CDRRMO team was administering first aid to the victims, a second, tragic event unfolded.
A second motorcycle, reportedly traveling at high speed, crashed into the accident site. The second rider plowed directly into the rescue personnel and the victims, adding to the chaos and causing further injuries.
The crash left two members of the CDRRMO rescue team and the second rider injured. Kidapawan City Police Station OIC Chief Lieutenant Colonel Dominador Palgan Jr. confirmed that the second rider, who was immediately apprehended, was intoxicated.
"Nalaman ng investigator mismo na lasing itong driver, itong nakabangga sa mga rescuer kasi amoy na amoy nila yung alak sa bunganga ng nakabangga," Palgan stated.
Sadly, the 22-year-old rider from the first accident succumbed to his injuries while being treated at the hospital. His female companion is currently recovering from her injuries.
Meanwhile, the drunk driver who caused the second crash has been taken into police custody and is facing charges of reckless imprudence resulting in physical injuries and damage to property.
The two injured rescuers were also treated for their injuries and have since been released.
In light of the tragic incident, Lieutenant Colonel Palgan issued a strong reminder to the community. He urged pet owners to be more responsible by keeping their animals tied up or enclosed to prevent them from wandering onto the streets and causing accidents.
Furthermore, he appealed to all motorists to avoid drinking and driving, emphasizing that impaired driving poses a grave danger not only to themselves but to everyone else on the road.
The incident serves as a stark warning about the compounded risks that reckless driving and negligence can create.
