Two truck drivers and one other were injured in separate road accidents at a mountainous area in Barangay Tablon, Cagayan de Oro.

A dump truck fell down a cliff after the driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle morning on Tuesday, November 19, 2024. The driver and his companion were injured.

A few hours later, another dump truck figured in an accident in the same area. The driver was injured.

“Kana nga dalan brgy road na pero dili man first time nga nahitabo na. almost every year ingon ani nga month ug December. so dili nato ma(tagna) nga basin adunay dili pareha sa atoa nga gapanguha,” Barangay Tablon Chairman, Romeo Bacarro, said.

Those who were injured in the two accidents are now in safe condition.

The barangay council aims to have the road concreted.

Bacarro said the road is already damaged and can no longer accommodate heavy trucks.

“Among ipatawag og utro kay if, in case, dili sila murespeto sa among pagpatawag sa ila, so maghimo mi og resolution sa barangay nga dili namo na paagian dinha… in fact, makita nato ang dalan dinha, damaged na gyud kay kana nga dalan dili na intended for heavy trucks,” Bacarro added.

The barangay urged motorists to take extra caution when traveling in the area.
