A car driver died while three passengers were injured in a collision involving a car, a truck, and a bus on Jose Abad Santos Avenue in Barangay San Nicolas 2nd, Lubao, Pampanga.

Closed circuit television (CCTV) footage showed the car slowing down to make a left turn when a truck from behind crashed into it, pushing it into the opposite lane, where an oncoming bus collided with it.

Emergency responders rushed the car driver to the hospital, but he was pronounced dead later.

His three passengers are still receiving medical treatment for their injuries, as of this writing.

Police took the truck driver into custody, who now faces charges of reckless imprudence resulting in homicide, severe physical injuries, and damage to property.

Lubao Police Chief PLtCol. John Bernard Tacdoy reminded motorists to follow traffic rules strictly.

"Umaapela po ako sa ating mga motorista na dumadaan sa JASA Road, lalo na sa nasasakupan ng Lubao, na mahigpit na sundin ang batas-trapiko," he said.

"Mayroon naman pong mga warning signs at mahalagang i-maintain at i-observe ang tamang speed limit upang maiwasan ang ganitong klaseng aksidente," he added.
