A motorcycle driven by a 56-year-old nurse fell on its side and, in the process, the nurse's outstretched left arm was ran over by a modernized public utility jeepney (PUJ).

The incident happened in Barangay Tabunok, Talisay City, Cebu at past 7 a.m. of July 25, 2024 along N. Bacalso Avenue (South Cebu Expressway).

In an initial investigation of the Talisay City Traffic Police and the City of Talisay-Traffic Operations and Development Authority (CT-TODA), the modernized PUJ was traveling from the Tabunok flyover bound for Cebu City. It was moving slowly on the left outer lane because of the bumper-to-bumper traffic.

The nurse maneuvered her motorcycle from the left outer lane and negotiated slowly toward the inner lane, but the two vehicles met at a point and figured in an accident.

The 57-year-old driver of the modernized PUJ apologized for the incident. He said that he did not notice of the motorcycle driver until a loud thud came at the side of the PUJ near the door, and that the vehicle bounced slightly at the rear part.

As of posting time, the police are still waiting for the family of the victim to either file charges or to agree to a settlement.

The victim was conscious when she was rushed to the hospital.
