MANILA, Philippines — A truck driver and his helper died after they were crushed by steel sheets they were transporting in a tragic Davao City accident last June 25.

In a report on Thursday, Davao police said 56-year-old driver Nestor Doronio and his helper KR Rasonable, 24, were traversing along C.P. Garcia Highway in Barangay Bunawan when a woman crossed the road.

Doronio tried to avoid hitting the pedestrian by stopping the truck, but his abrupt brake application caused the steel sheets behind to move forward and impale them both.
