3 hurt in Cagayan drag racing

At least three people were hurt after they were rammed by a car participating in an alleged illegal drag race in Cagayan province, according to a report on 24 Oras Monday.

"Itong mga pulis, walang kamalay-malay din na magkakaroon ng drag race. Pero actually, hindi naman drag race ito, kung hindi, sinubukan lang daw nila 'yong kanilang sasakyan kung gaano ito kabilis tumakbo," Cagayan Police PIO Police Captain Isabelita Gano said.

A police officer, meanwhile, was seen in the CCTV footage of the drag race.

"Ang paalam lang daw po 'di umano nila ay magkakaroon lamang po ng parade, wala na raw pong ipinagpaalam na iba. Walang knowledge ang PNP regarding this kasi walang pinaalam sa kanila. Kumbaga, itong pulis na nakita sa video, permanent na area niya. Patrol kasi 'yong ginagawa nila," Gano said.

GMA News already reached out to the chief police of the Baggao Police but has yet to respond as of posting.
