Two people died and at least 10 others were injured when three vehicles figured in an accident in Carmen, Davao del Norte.

Police said the collision involved a boom truck, a bongo truck, and a motorcycle.

Investigation showed that the boom truck swerved to the opposite lane when one of its tires burst, and it crashed into the bongo truck. The boom truck had 12 passengers and was traveling to Tagum City when the accident happened.

The motorcycle, which was traveling behind the bongo truck crashed into the truck. 

“Nasiraan kasi ng gulong. Allegedly, pumutok yung gulong ng boom truck, yung elf boom truck tapos nag-swerve siya sa kabilang lane. Pag-swerve niya sa kabilang lane, nagkataon naman na padating yung bongo (truck) kaya nagkabanggaan sila,” Carmen Municipal Police Station Traffic Investigator, Senior Master Sergeant Joconor Coronel, said.

The drivers of the two trucks died while around 15 others who were injured were taken to the hospital.

“Patay pareho ang driver ng boom truck at driver ng bongo. Dalawa ang patay and ang sugatan is 15 kasi may dalawa pa na nadamay sa pangyayari yung dalawang nag-motorsiklo na mag-live-in partner,” Coronel said.
