A 48-year-old doctor, Dr. Nixon Cabucana, died after his car plunged into a river in Baggao town, Cagayan, on Monday evening.
Dr. Cabucana was traveling to Tuguegarao City when his vehicle veered off a narrow bridge during a rainy night.
Responders found the doctor still wearing his seatbelt but submerged in water due to the car being upside down.
He was pronounced dead on arrival at the Baggao District Hospital.
The late doctor was recognized in June 2025 with the Gold Medal for Community Development at the Dangal ng Lahing Cagayano awards.
