One motorist was killed and three more were injured after a UV Express van rammed 14 motorcycles along Commonwealth Avenue late Friday morning, the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) said.
In a statement, the QCPD explained that the driver ‘lost control of his vehicle’ along the northbound segment of Commonwealth Avenue in front of the Commission on Human Rights office.
‘The said vehicle rammed into a group of motorcycle riders and continued to accelerate forward before making a u-turn at Tandang Sora Avenue, where it collided with several other vehicles and injured four individuals,’ the police added.
The QCPD Public Information Office later confirmed, in a message to reporters, that one of the four victims succumbed to injuries.
QCPD public information chief Maj. Jennifer Gannaban added that the district police’s Traffic Sector 5 unit arrested the UV express van driver.
The police did not identify the driver nor the victims.
‘The case is now under thorough investigation by the QCPD Traffic Enforcement Unit to determine the cause of the incident and to file the appropriate charges against the driver,’ the police further noted.
