A 40-year-old man died after the truck he was driving fell into a ravine in Sitio Talisay, Barangay Suawan, Marilog District, Davao City around 4 a.m. on Friday, January 30, 2026.

According to a report by GMA Super Radyo Davao, the driver was identified as alias “Romel,” a resident of Barangay Tibungco.

Based on investigation, the truck was carrying around 1,400 boxes of pineapples and was traveling along the Davao-Bukidnon Road from Bukidnon to Davao City when the accident happened.

Authorities said the truck driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle upon reaching a curved portion of the road, causing the truck to veer off the right side of the highway and plunged into a 50-meter-deep ravine.

Due to the impact, the driver was trapped inside the truck. He was retrieved later but was declared dead.
