A senior citizen woman lost her life after being hit by a truck while crossing an intersection along C. Raymundo Avenue in Pasig City.
A road accident is an unexpected event that happens on a road or highway, usually involving vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists. These accidents can lead to injuries, damage to property, or even loss of life.
Road accidents can happen for many reasons. Some of the most common causes include speeding, distracted driving, not following traffic rules, reckless behavior, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
It is important for everyone to follow traffic laws and stay alert while on the road. Drivers should always wear seatbelts, obey speed limits, and avoid distractions to prevent accidents. Pedestrians should use crosswalks and look both ways before crossing.
Recently, a 62-year-old woman was on her way to the hospital when the tragic accident happened. CCTV footage captured the heartbreaking moment. The video shows traffic at a standstill, including the truck involved in the accident.
As the woman attempted to cross, traffic resumed, and unfortunately, she was caught in front of the moving truck.
The impact left her with severe injuries to her head and chest. Emergency responders arrived quickly, but she was pronounced dead due to the extent of her injuries.
The truck driver claimed he did not see the woman crossing. However, the victim’s family refused to settle and is now pursuing legal action against him. Authorities are investigating the incident, reviewing CCTV footage and witness statements to determine further legal steps.
The accident shows the importance of pedestrian safety and driver awareness, especially in busy intersections. Authorities continue to remind both motorists and pedestrians to exercise caution and follow traffic rules to prevent similar incidents in the future.
