LUCENA CITY — A 55-year-old driver was pinned to death by his truck after the vehicle lost its brakes in Real town in Quezon province on Saturday.
The Quezon police reported on Sunday, Feb. 23, that a 12-wheeler dump truck driven by alias “Roberto” was negotiating a section of the national road when the vehicle lost its brakes in Barangay Tanauan around 12:45 p.m.
The two helpers managed to jump out of the truck, leaving behind Roberto, who was trying to control the vehicle loaded with sand and gravel.
The driver jumped out of the truck when the wayward vehicle reached a curved portion of the road, but it “tipped over to its left side” and pinned him down.
The report said he was “pulled apart into pieces causing his instantaneous death.”
