LINGAYEN–The barangay chairman of Condordia, Bolinao died and eight others were hurt in a three-vehicle collision along the national highway in Barangay Ambabaay, Bani last February 7 at 9:20 p.m.

The fatality was identified as Antonio Cabelles, who was driving his Mitsubishi Gallant heading east and collided with a Five Star bus driven by Leo Enero, 28, who was overtaking a motorcycle.

Witnesses say both Cabelles and Enero were driving at high speeds.
