A woman and her two children, two and six years old, died when a truck crushed the van they were riding in Sitio Tugatog, Barangay Marungko, Angat, Bulacan.

The victims were pronounced dead on arrival at Norzagaray Public Hospital.

The father, who was driving the van, survived the incident with injuries.

Based on police investigation, the two vehicles were headed in the same direction and were navigating up a steep road with the van behind the truck.

The truck was transporting filling materials.

The truck driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle and the truck started moving backward. Despite stepping on the brakes, the truck reportedly continued moving downhill and flipped over, eventually crushing the van.

The parties involved have reportedly settled the matter amicably.

Police urged drivers to remain vigilant.

"Sa lahat po ng drivers natin na nagmamaneho ng malalaki at pampasahero po nating sasakyan, check-in lang palagi ‘yung kondisyon ng sarili at kondisyon na rin ng minamanehong sasakyan para maiwasan itong mga ganitong insidente. May nawawalan ng buhay at may nasisirang mga properties," PMaj. Mark Anthony San Pedro, Angat Police Station Chief, said.
