According to Biatinggo, when he glanced at the side mirror of his motorcycle, the van was still far from them but when he maneuvered his motorcycle to go left, it was already near them and the accident happened.
However, the grieving dad claimed that the van driver did not help them but instead fled although he knew what happened.
“Pagkaliwa ko, doon na… malapit na pala siya. Ayun, tinamaan niya kami. Nakita niya naman kami kasi huminto siya, bigla na lang siya humarurot,” Biatinggo said.
Based on the report, the wife of the motorcycle driver and their 7-year-old son were thrown to the other side of the road by the collission. He claimed that he was shouting for help but no one came near them to help them and it took a while before an ambulance came.
The grieving dad and his wife lost both their 7-year-old son and their unborn baby from the accident after both were declared dead on arrival. The couple who is left with no more living children are currently admitted in the hospital and the wife has to undergo an operation to deliver their baby.
