Elderly man pinned to death under truck in Albay road mishap

An elderly man died after he was pinned to death underneath a truck following a road accident in Camalig, Albay, according to Raffy Tima’s exclusive report in 24 Oras on Monday.

Due to the impact of the collision between an SUV and a 10-wheeler truck, the latter flipped on its side, pinning the victim underneath the vehicle.

Rescuers had a difficult time recovering the victim's body underneath the truck's tires.

The SUV driver suffered injuries while the truck driver and his helper were unharmed in the accident.

However, angry residents ganged up on the truck crew following the unfortunate death of the senior citizen.

One man kicked the helper on the head.

The commotion only stopped upon the arrival of the police.

Investigation showed both vehicles were on enroute to Legazpi City on converging roads when the truck lost control of the brake as the roads merged.

The victim’s family chose not to file charges against the truck driver. —Vince Angelo Ferreras/RF, GMA Integrated News
