Tricycle Driver Suffers From High Blood Pressure Attack During Traffic Violation Check
Family seeks justice after driver dies from high blood pressure attack after traffic enforcer apprehended him for committing violation.
Traffic policies are rules and regulations set by governments to ensure safe and orderly movement on roads and highways. These policies help manage the flow of vehicles, protect pedestrians, and reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.
Enforcement of traffic policies is important to ensure compliance and stop dangerous behavior on the roads. Law enforcement officers patrol roads to enforce speed limits, monitor seat belt usage, and penalize drivers who violate traffic laws.
Penalties for traffic violations may include fines, license suspension, or even imprisonment in serious cases.
Recently, the family of William Cabusao, a 66-year-old resident of Surigao del Norte, is calling for justice following his death from a high blood pressure attack triggered by the stress of being accosted by a traffic enforcer.
According to the family, Cabusao was on his way to the church when he suddenly felt unwell, leading him to pull over his tricycle to rest briefly. It was during this moment that a passenger boarded his tricycle and they headed to the hospital.
It is known that Cabusao, a former Barangay Kagawad in Oslao and the President of ATODA (Anao-aon Tricycle Operators and Drivers Association), had the necessary permits to operate his tricycle.
However, the traffic enforcer stopped Cabusao because his tricycle did not have a body number and had a passenger on board. The driver allegedly suffered from a high blood pressure attack during the apprehension. Unfortunately, the incident resulted in the tricycle driver’s demise.

The incident emphasized the importance of understanding and empathy in dealing with individuals, particularly those who may be experiencing health issues or stress.
As the family mourns the loss of their loved one, they hope that Cabusao’s death will not be in vain and that it will lead to improvements in how law enforcement interacts with the public, particularly in situations involving health emergencies or vulnerabilities.
