A truck driver loses his life after being crushed by the vehicle he was repairing in Tiaong, Quezon.
On early Friday morning (September 12, 2025), a tragic accident claimed the life of a young truck driver. The incident happened along the shoulder of the bypass road in Barangay Lalig, where the victim had stopped to repair his truck.
Authorities identified the driver as Ron, a 28-year-old native of Butuan City, Agusan del Norte. Police investigators reported that the accident took place around 4:50 a.m. while Ron was underneath the truck, fixing its airbag system.
While he was working, the truck’s mechanism suddenly malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to collapse and pin his head. The impact was fatal, leaving him with no chance of survival. Responders who arrived at the scene confirmed that he died instantly.
Reports said Ron had pulled over to the side of the road to rest and address the mechanical issue before the tragic accident happened. The incident shocked nearby motorists and residents who witnessed the aftermath.
Local police have classified the case as an accident, but they are reminding truck operators and drivers to take extra safety precautions when repairing their vehicles on the road. Regular maintenance checks and proper use of safety equipment could prevent similar tragedies.
Ron’s passing serves as a grim reminder of the risks faced by drivers who often have to handle vehicle troubles on their own, sometimes in unsafe locations and under difficult conditions.
Authorities extended their condolences to the victim’s family as they continue to investigate the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
