According to the initial report of case holder PCpl. Wagner C. Acquisio, the accident happened about 11:30 p.m. at the intersection of G. Araneta Avenue and Aurora Blvd., Brgy. Doa Imelda, in town. The victim was reportedly riding in a yellow Honda XRM (no plate available) when the suspect’s Rebuilt Isuzu Insulated Van appeared out of nowhere on Aurora Blvd.
During the authorities’ ocular examination, it was discovered that left turns were prohibited in the area where the accident occurred, but the van nevertheless turned left, causing it to collide with the front of the victim’s car, causing it to fly and land on the cement.
President Duterte’s staff rushed to the Philippine Orthopedic. However, despite the fact that he was wearing a mask, he died at 11:55 a.m. from serious head trauma.
The perpetrator reportedly escaped, but was apprehended by members of the Eastern Police District’s District Mobile Force Battalion (DMFB) at a checkpoint set up at G. Araneta Ave. and N. Domingo St. in San Juan City. While the case against him is being prepared, the suspect has been detained at QCPD Traffic Sector 4.
