LTO revokes Buyawan's driver's license for deadly stunt

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) revoked the driver's license of motovlogger Rico Akmad Buyawan after he performed a dangerous stunt called the 'Superman' on Marilaque Highway in Tanay, Rizal.

On January 28, Buyawan and fellow motovlogger John Louie Arguelles were involved in a crash while performing the stunt, resulting in Arguelles' death and injuries to six bystanders.

Following an investigation by the LTO-Calabarzon office, Chief Assistant Secretary Vigor Mendoza II announced that based on evidence presented, Buyawan was found guilty of reckless driving and unfit to operate a motor vehicle.

Mendoza emphasized that a driver's license is a privilege that comes with the responsibility of observing road safety and respecting public roads as not the proper place for dangerous stunts.

To prevent similar incidents, the Highway Patrol Group (HPG) plans to increase personnel deployment along Marilaque Highway and warned motorists they could face criminal charges if caught racing.
