A driver died after his truck carrying a crane fell into an eight-meter deep ravine in Barangay Silangang Malicboy, Pagbilao, Quezon.

The driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle while navigating a curve on the road.

"More on doon sa mechanical part, nag-wiggle siya tapos nag-slide... then hindi na nakayanan ng brake," PMaj. Charlotte Fiesta Zahid, Chief of the Pagbilao Police Station, said.

Rescuers faced challenges in retrieving the body of the driver as the truck landed upside down. 

"Flipped over po talaga 'yung truck and then the driver was stuck underneath it... the pressure was more on the neck," Zahid said.

The passenger of the truck sustained injuries.

Authorities advise motorists to inspect their vehicles regularly.

"Check it always, the brakes, the tires, everything po… lalong-lalo na po 'yung sarili nila, kasi mostly ng ating accidents ay human error… sana po, before mag-biyahe, i-check po nila lahat," Zahid said.
