Two people died while six others were injured in separate road accidents in Cagayan de Oro City and Tacurong City.

In Cagayan de Oro, a rider and his mother-in-law died while their female companion was injured after a mini dump truck crashed into the motorcycle they were riding in Barangay Dansolihon on Tuesday, March 24, 2026.

Based on investigation, the truck driver allegedly lost control of the vehicle while navigating a curve on the road and veered into the motorcycle’s lane, which caused the collision.

The rider and his father-in-law were declared dead on arrival at the hospital.

The truck driver was taken into police custody. Authorities are arranging a possible settlement between the two parties.

Meanwhile, five people were injured in a road crash involving a motorcycle and a multipurpose vehicle (MPV) in Tacurong City on Tuesday.

CCTV footage showed the MPV attempting to turn left on the national highway in Barangay Griño when it was hit by the motorcycle.

“Nag-attempt siya na mag-overtake pero lumampas siya doon sa solid white lane, kasi galing siya sa center lane yung dalawang nakasakay na motorsiklo. Kaya pag-left turn, kasi open naman yung sasakyan natin na MPV, tapos may right to move na siya kasi walang papuntang Tacurong na sasakyan na maka-block sa kanya, yung motor, di man natin masabi na mabilis talaga, pero medyo mabilis, na-overshoot. Pumunta doon sa kabilang lane na opposite lane talaga ng national highway kaya nabangga niya yung center ng MPV,” Tacurong City Traffic Enforcement Unit Chief Investigator, Executive Master Sergeant Ricardo Bryan Villagracia III, said.

Because of the impact, the rider and his companion, both nursing students from Lambayong, Sultan Kudarat, sustained injuries in the head and body.

On the other hand, the three passengers of the MPV also sustained injuries from broken glass.

All individuals injured were brought to a hospital and are reportedly in stable condition.

The MPV driver was taken into police custody for investigation.

Both parties are set to meet for a possible settlement.
