The van driven by Alqueza was hit on its rear portion by the truck which ran over Belecario and the aunt of her common-law partner who carried her one-year-old son at the time.
Alqueza, Abellanosa, Diola, Mark Cabanilla and Belesavio sustained cuts and injuries. Gaco said tests confirmed the truck’s brakes malfunctioned. Traya is now detained at the Toledo City police precinct.
