Three people were injured after a truck carrying a backhoe rammed into a house in a subdivision in Barangay Macasandig, Cagayan de Oro City.

The backhoe was used to repair a water pipeline in the area and when it was loaded onto the truck, the truck reportedly moved downhill while the driver was securing the backhoe. The truck is owned by the developer of the subdivision.

“Ninaog siya kay nag binder sa backhoe naluros lang kalit ang truck nga naka-engage man unta siya sa maxi brake iyang gigukod pa pero wala na niya na apsi ni padulong diri maayo na lang gani kay walay kasugat nga sakynan,” Libery Land Corporation Supervisor, Jerry Sereno, said.

Another vehicle and a motorcycle parked beside the road were also hit.

The owner of the house was taken to the hospital after sustaining injuries in the head. The driver and his helper also sustained minor injuries.

“Ang tag-iya sa balay naa pa gyud sila sa balay tambalanan kay nag paayo sa iyang injury tungod kay natagakan og bato,” Traffic Investigator, Patrolman Ivan Alexander Andrada, said.

The truck driver was taken into police custody.

“Ug unsay hitabo nga sala gyud sa Kompanya dili na sila mo talikod,” Sereno added.
