A man was killed after a garbage truck plowed through several vehicles and stores on Bacaca Road corner J.P. Laurel Avenue, Davao City evening on Wednesday, September 17, 2025.
According to a report by GMA Super Radyo Davao, police identified the victim as a 27-year-old “letsonero” (lechon cook) and a resident of Lupon, Davao Oriental.
Based on investigation, the truck made a brief stop temporarily to collect garbage when the wooden block used to secure the wheels reportedly got dislodged, causing the truck to roll downhill.
The truck then crashed into a motorcycle, a car, a traffic light, and several stores.
The victim, who was tending to a lechon stall, was hit and did not reach the hospital alive.
All drivers of the vehicles involved were also brought to the hospital for treatment.
