LTO officer’s license suspended for reckless driving
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) suspended the driver's license of an officer assigned to its Zamboanga Peninsula regional human resource department following a viral video of reckless driving.
LTO chief Vigor Mendoza II stated that the officer was ordered to surrender his license and emphasized that the agency does not tolerate traffic violations from its personnel.
The incident involved the officer driving a pick-up truck, reportedly speeding off and losing control, causing the vehicle to fall into a swamp in Imelda town, Zamboanga Sibugay.
The officer and three LTO employee passengers were not injured.
The LTO's Intelligence and Investigation Division is investigating if the officer was under the influence of alcohol during the incident.
The officer will face charges for reckless driving and being an improper person to operate a motor vehicle, which could lead to license revocation and potential administrative charges.
