The impact was reportedly devastating. Witnesses and first responders described a harrowing scene where the sheer force of the collision inflicted catastrophic injuries on both individuals.
The rider was thrown from his motorcycle, while the elderly pedestrian suffered severe trauma from the direct hit.

However, despite the best efforts of medical personnel and the urgency of the transport, it was too late.
Both the rider and the pedestrian were pronounced dead on arrival, succumbing to the severity of their injuries before they could receive treatment.
As of Friday, the local authorities in Narvacan have not released the names of the deceased, allowing the families time to identify their loved ones and process the shock.
The Narvacan Police Station is continuing its investigation to determine if other factors, such as lighting conditions in the area or mechanical failure, contributed to the mishap.
The families of both the rider and the pedestrian have yet to issue public statements. They are currently observing a period of deep mourning as they prepare to lay their loved ones to rest.
This tragic event serves as a grim reminder of the dangers lurking on national highways, particularly at night.
Local officials are once again urging motorists to exercise extreme caution and for pedestrians to be hyper-vigilant when navigating high-speed zones, in hopes that such senseless loss of life can be prevented in the future.
In other news, the political community is in shock following the death of Rep. Romeo Acop at age 78 due to heart failure, an event that occurred just as he was reportedly regaining his health after a successful kidney surgery last month. Acop is being celebrated as a rare public servant who effectively transitioned from a disciplined career as a high-ranking police general to a meticulously analytical legislator known for his legal mastery. During his tenure as vice-chair of the House Quad Committee, he became a central figure in high-stakes probes into POGOs and human rights issues, earning a reputation for his unwavering but balanced search for the truth. Regarded as an "in-house mentor" by younger solons, the late representative’s structured and clinical interrogation style was frequently compared to a master class in the nuances of the Philippine criminal justice system.
Still in other news, Mark Arjay Reyes, fiancé of the missing bride, has formally disputed law enforcement's preliminary assessment that Sherra De Juan’s disappearance was triggered by intense emotional or financial burdens. Reyes clarified that the medical care for Sherra's father was not a source of financial strain, as all related hospital expenses were fully handled by their health insurance provider. Addressing rumors of monetary stress, he pointed out that their upcoming marriage was a well-organized event with a surplus budget already in place before Sherra went missing. These insights from the fiancé were shared as part of the broader, ongoing investigation into the circumstances of the case, with authorities still reviewing all potential leads.
