A GRADE 10 girl died after the motorcycle she rode was bumped by a speeding ambulance that also hurt her brother along the highway in Barangay Bonuan Gueset here while a 71- year old grandpa also perished in a separate road accident in Bani town, Pangasinan on Dec. 18.

Vanessa Cayabyab, 16, resident of Barangay Bonuan Binloc in Dagupan City, was declared dead on arrival while her elder brother, Vincent Cayabyab, 17, driver of the motorcycle was hurt and were both brought to Region 1 Medical Center (R1MC) here.
