A 62-year-old woman died after she was hit by a car along the Maharlika Highway in Pamplona, Camarines Sur.

According to the woman’s daughter, her mother was crossing the road when she was struck by a speeding vehicle heading towards Libmanan.

"Nakita ko na lang si mama nakahiga na eh, bibili sana siya ng ulam namin para po may pagkain kami bago siya pumunta ‘don sa kabila," Daza said.

Eyewitnesses reported hearing a loud crash at the time of the incident.

"Nagkalabog po siya, pagkalabog po nahiling ko taho na palan si nabangga pagkatapos kaskason po si awto," Ailene Llanes, a witness, said.

According to the police, the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a rice warehouse after hitting the woman. 

"Base sa driver may sinusundan lang daw siyang sasakyan, hindi na niya masyadong napansin na may tumawid sa may gilid and then — once napansin nung driver, sinubukan pa niyang ilagan pero hindi na po nakaya kaya inabot pa rin po yung victim ng sasakyan po," PMAJ. Michael Vincent Fortunado, Chief of Police of Pamplona Municipal Police Station (MPS), said.

The driver sustained minor injuries, while its six passengers were unharmed.

The families involved have reportedly reached an agreement, and no charges were filed.
