Two motorcycle riders were killed while a back rider was injured in a head-on collision along the Manila North Road in Urdaneta City at around 6 p.m. on Sunday.
A 55-year-old motorcycle rider from Nueva Ecija was piloting a Suzuki Raider 150, with a 35-year-old female canteen helper from San Manuel, Pangasinan, when they crashed into a Honda Click 125 driven by a 37-year-old painter from Quezon City.
Initial police investigation says the Honda Click allegedly encroached into the opposite lane in an attempt to overtake a vehicle, resulting in a head-on collision with the oncoming Suzuki Raider.
The impact threw both motorcycle riderss and the back rider onto the road.
Personnel of the Urdaneta City Emergency Medical Services rushed them to the Urdaneta District Hospital, where both motorcycle pilots were declared dead on arrival by the attending physician. The back rider remains confined for medical treatment.
