Based on the initial investigation, the van was traveling uphill before it moved backward toward the pair. A police officer interviewed for the report suggested that the driver may have misjudged his maneuver.
The driver reportedly worked for a construction company. At the time of the incident, he was transporting several gallons of paint to a bridge under construction in the area.
What began as a delivery trip ended in a fatal incident involving the mother and her young daughter, who were passing through the same stretch of road.
The report showed the mother crying as residents tried to reach her child beneath the vehicle. Those nearby joined the effort to raise the van and retrieve the girl.
Following the incident, the driver and the victim’s family met to discuss what happened. According to the police interview, the two sides signed a memorandum of agreement that included arrangements for the child’s funeral expenses.
“Sagot nila lahat ng panglibing,” the officer said while explaining the agreement reached after the meeting.
The report also stated that the family agreed not to file a complaint against the driver. Police relayed that the family regarded what happened as an accident that no one had intended.
