A motorcycle rider was dead on the spot, while his two back-riders soon died after multiple vehicles crashed into each other along the provincial road of Barangay Tomana East in Rosales town on Sunday, August 28.

A motorcycle, driven by Arnel Sampitan, 24, along with back-riders Alexis Mae de Guzman, 30, and Mary Ann Costales, 26, all residents of Barangay Station District in Rosales town, met their demise after overtaking a tricycle.

Their motorcycle crashed into a truck being driven by Edwin Gerardo, 38, of San Mariano in Isabela province, who tried to evade the incoming motorcycle.

As a result, the truck, motorcycle, and tricycle overtaken by the victims crashed into each other.

Sampitan was dead on the spot, while Costales and de Guzman were rushed to the hospital but were declared dead on arrival.

Meanwhile, Gerardo, despite being in the proper lane, is under police custody for further investigation. (Ahikam Pasion)
