A 10-wheel truck ran over a senior citizen who crossed reportedly a bridge at the South Road Properties (SRP) at past 10 a.m. on May 5, 2024. 

The 65-year-old victim died instantaneously. 

The victim was identified through her ID cards as Consolacion Rosal, a resident of Mandaue City.

In an investigation by the Cebu City Police Office - Traffic Enforcement Unit (CCPO - TEU), the truck was headed for the Municipality of Minglanilla passing by the Cebu South Coastal Road (CSCR). While the truck was going up the span, the victim crossed the freeway and was hit by the truck.

The bridge was located at the Cebu City side of SRP.

According to the driver identified as Gregorio Geoco, it was too late for him to stop the truck especially that it is heavy with load. 

Members of the TEU tried to figure out why the senior citizen was in the area which is not designated for pedestrian crossing. 

The truck driver is held under TEU custody awaiting charges for reckless imprudence resulting in homicide to be filed against him. 

Meanwhile, a sports utility vehicle toppled over at CSCR, in Barangay San Isidro, Talisay City at past 3 a.m. on May 4, 2024.

According to City of Talisay - Traffic Operations and Development Authority Head Jonathan Tumulak that the vehicle was plying the outer lane toward south Cebu when it rammed onto the gutter and tipped over.

The driver was tinkering reportedly her cellphone while driving. No one was reported hurt in the incident. The two women on board the vehicle are unscathed.
