A man was dislodged from a motorcycle that rammed into a concrete fence, and landed at the yard of a residence in Banate town, Province of Iloilo.

A closed-circuit television (CCTV) video showed how one man was tossed on impact, while the other man was left seated on his motorcycle, snagged in the fence. The incident happened in Barangay Alacaygan, Banate.  

The incident took place at past 11 p.m. on April 13, 2025.

The man fell at the yard of a house owned by the Catunao family. He was identified as Mark Christ Alonday, while the driver was identified as Lengie Bersabal. Both are 21 years old and Criminology students in Iloilo City.

Both students are from Barangay Bulaqueña, Estancia town, and were traveling to Iloilo City for supposed enrollment on Monday, April 14, 2025.  

“Tumawid ang kanilang motor papunta sana sa kabilang lane at sumalpok sa pader,” said Staff Sergeant Merille Igona, investigator at Banate Municipal Police Station.

The driver died at the hospital. He sustained multiple wounds.

Alonday also sustained wounds but survived the accident.

“Nang bumangga ang motor sa pader, andiyan pa ang driver, nakaupo pa sa kanyang motorsiklo pero unconscious siya,” Igona added.

Police believe that the driver may have lost control of the motorcycle while he negotiated a bend at the said spot of the road.

There is no indication that the victims had alcohol intake, police said.
