DAVAO CITY, Philippines — A truck driver and his helper were killed when their vehicle’s cargo of steel sheet piles pushed forward into the cab after a sudden stop on Carlos P. Garcia Highway near the cargo entrance of Davao International Airport at 2:55 p.m. on June 25.
According to a report by the Buhangin police, the victims were identified as Nestor Dela Cruz Doronio, 56, a driver from New Ilocos, Magsaysay, Davao Del Sur, and his helper, KR Salem Rasonable, 24, from Km. 82 Marber, Bansalan, Davao Del Sur.
The initial investigation revealed that the truck, loaded with fifty (50) 12mm sheet piles, was traveling towards central Davao City when an Airport Security Assistant, identified as Evalonie Intia Martinez, suddenly crossed the road. This prompted Doronio to brake abruptly.
The sudden stop caused the heavy cargo to lurch forward, crushing Doronio and Rasonable inside the cab and resulting in their deaths.
Martinez was taken to Buhangin police station for questioning. It was reported that Martinez did not use the pedestrian lane when crossing the road.
The incident highlights the dangers of improper road crossing and the importance of secure cargo handling.
