Truck driver, helper crushed by steel sheets in Davao City
A truck driver and his helper died in Davao City after the steel sheets they were transporting impaled them when the truck driver stopped abruptly for a pedestrian.
The victims were identified as 56-year-old driver Nestor Doronio and his 24-year-old helper KR Rasonable.
The accident occurred on June 25 along C.P. Garcia Highway in Barangay Bunawan.
CCTV footage showed the truck halting because a pedestrian crossed its path, causing the unsecured steel sheets to shift forward and enter the truck's cabin.
Police reported that the truck carried 50 pieces of 12-millimeter steel sheets, which slid about three meters towards the cab.
An investigation indicated that the sheet pile was not properly secured.
The pedestrian, a 32-year-old woman, is in police custody pending investigation.
The victims' families are reportedly planning to file cases for reckless imprudence resulting in homicide against the pedestrian and the jeepney driver who allowed the pedestrian to disembark.
