CEBU CITY, Philippines — A tricycle driver reportedly lost his left leg while 10 others were injured in a multi-vehicle smashup along P. Rodriguez Street, in front of the Lapu-Lapu City Central Elementary School this Saturday, Sept. 10, 2022,

In a social media post, Nagiel Bañacia, head of the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, said two of the injured individuals suffered bone fractures. The eight others had head injuries and contusions.

Bañacia said the accident happened at 1:45 p.m. on Saturday and involved a sedan, a tricycle, and a passenger multicab.

The injured were brought to the Lapu-Lapu City Hospital and a private hospital in the city for immediate medical care.
