A man lost a leg after it was hit by a motorcycle while he was crossing the street in Mandaue City.

The man crossed the street in Barangay Canduman noontime on Thursday, November 28, 2024.

According to Hyll Retuya, acting head of the Traffic Enforcement Agency of Mandaue (TEAM), the motorcycle accelerated on a go- signal when the man crossed the road.

The motorcycle hit the man and severed his right leg.

Retuya said that the man could have used the skywalk in the vicinity, but just like others who figured in an accident in the area, the man crossed the road despite the risk.

The man was taken to the University of Cebu Medical Center where he is recuperating, as of posting time, while the driver of the motorcycle that hit him was taken into the custody of Police Station 3 in Mandaue City.
