A couple was injured after they got snagged by a barbed wire strung across the road as they were riding their motorcycle in Barangay Caraycayon, Tigaon, Camarines Sur.

As of this writing, authorities are still investigating the incident to identify who placed the barbed wire. 

The couple, Ronnee and Glenda Carreras, were on their way home at that time when they decided to use the road. 

The area was dark and the road was barely lit, which was why they did not see the wire. 

A video footage captured Ronnee struggling to remove the barbed wire from his neck.

“Pakahiling ko po na may nakaharang na tubo nag-menor na po ako. Pag-patukad ko po, pagtungas ko kan motor, nahiling ko na po si barbed wire, dae ko na nakontrol si motor ta harani na po kami,” Ronnee said.

The couple believes the barbed wire was strung deliberately. 

“Kung ano tong naging perwisyo niya ta haloy baga yan bago makaka-recover… si pagbuhay mi naperwisyo niyang maray, bata may mga estudyante kaming nag-aasa samo,” Glenda said.

The barangay captain, Romeo Borigas, urged those who may have knowledge about the placing of the wire to come forward.

“Bako lang po digdi sa [Barangay] Caraycayon, [maging] sa kataid ming barangay nag-iimbestigar po kami. Bale ngani nag-coordinate ako sa sarong barangay na kung may maaraman na arog kaini, maireport tulos,” Barangay Captain Romeo Borigas, said.

As a precautionary measure, residents are advised to avoid the area from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. until further notice.
