Truck driver and helper killed by steel sheets in Davao City



Two Men Killed in Tragic Accident in Davao City

A truck driver and his helper lost their lives after being crushed by steel sheets they were transporting in Davao City on June 25. The victims were identified as 56-year-old Nestor Doronio and his 24-year-old helper KR Rasonable.

According to the Davao police report, the tragic incident occurred on C.P. Garcia Highway in Barangay Bunawan. Doronio attempted to avoid hitting a pedestrian by abruptly stopping the truck. However, this sudden brake application caused the steel sheets to move forward, impaling both men.

The truck was carrying 50 pieces of 12-millimeter steel sheets, which slipped about three meters towards the cab of the trailer truck. Both Doronio and Rasonable sustained fatal injuries that resulted in their deaths. The 32-year-old pedestrian involved in the accident is currently in police custody as investigations continue.

This heartbreaking incident serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers faced by those working in the transportation industry. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of the victims during this difficult time.
