MANILA, Philippines — The owner of the sports utility vehicle (SUV) involved in the viral hit-and-run incident in Mandaluyong City surrendered to the Philippine National Police (PNP) on Wednesday, June 15, 2022.
During the Pulis @ Ur Serbis program hosted by UNTV, the driver and owner of the Toyota RAV4 Jose Antonio Sanvicente showed up at Camp Crame in Quezon City, following mounting calls from the public and the national police to face the charges against him.
This was after police failed to find him after the incident on June 5, as Sanvicente did not attend Land Transportation Office (LTO) hearings, which also led to the revocation of his driver’s license.

As a result, the victim sustained several injuries and had to be monitored at the hospital’s intensive care unit.
