Man dies after tire explodes at vulcanizing shop in Tuao, Cagayan

A man was killed after a tire exploded while it was being inflated at a vulcanizing shop in Tuao, Cagayan.

According to the report on "Saksi" of GMA Regional TV One North Central Luzon's Joanne Ponsoy, the victim Romnick Bogar was one meter away from the tire which the shop hand left unattended.

He lost his left hand and suffered a severe head wound.

“'Yung vulcanizer dahil sa negligence niya, nag-inflate ng gulong gamit ‘yung compressor, pressurized ‘yung hangin. Ngayon, habang pinapalagyan ng hangin gamit ang compressor, iniwanan niya ‘yung gulong na pinapalagyan niya ng hangin at may ginagawa na iba pa,” said Police Maj. Jhun Jhun Balisi, chief of the Tuao Police Station.

“Hindi niya namalayan na nasobrahan ng hangin ‘yung gulong. ‘Yun ang caused ng pagsabog ng gulong,” he added.

“Huwag tayong negligent on our safety and security, ganun din sa customers natin na pupunta para magpabomba, magpa-vulcanize ng gulong. Dapat kung ano ang procedure, kung ano ang safety tips, ganun ang gagawin.” —NB, GMA Integrated News
