CEBU CITY, Philippines – An elderly man died after getting run over by a sports utility vehicle (SUV) along the national highway in Ronda, southern Cebu last Sunday, May 28, 2023.

Police in Ronda confirmed that Jesus Mendez, 75, died after an SUV ran him over while lying down on one side of the highway. The SUV was driven by a certain Casidel Ocubillo, a resident of Cebu City.

The tragedy occurred close to 5 a.m. on Sunday, initial investigations showed.
