CEBU CITY, Philippines — Two motorcycle drivers including a woman, died after they collided with a dump truck that encroached on their lane in Barangay Pandacan, Pinamungajan, Cebu, on Thursday, February 11.

Police said that at around 11:00 a.m., motorcycle drivers Vicky Pepito and Jasper Campo, were heading south when the incident happened.

Pinamungajan police said the dump truck driver identified as Gilbert Tabañag, 43, was overtaking a motorcycle and swerved to the opposite lane hitting Pepito and Campo.

The collision, police said, threw Pepito to the side of the road while Campo was pinned beneath the truck resulting in his instantaneous death. The dump truck then crashed into a concrete fence.
