ALMERIA, BILIRAN – The vehicular accident along the National Highway in Brgy. Jamorawon, Almeria that led to the death of the motorcycle driver Jairo Estrada, 31 years old, of Salvacion, Culaba, Biliran, is now in the office of Prosecutor Richard Japson for inquest proceedings.
Charged with Reckless Imprudence Resulting to Homicide is Alexis Geo Dagalea, 18 years old, student, resident of Brgy. Calumpang, Naval, Biliran.
According to the Spot Report of the Almeria Police Station, as received by Biliran Island, the Toyota Hilux Pick Up Truck with Plate No. HAB 1516, driven by Dagalea, was heading to Naval while the Kawasaki Rouser RS 200 with Plate No. 083102, driven by Strada, was heading north towards Poblacion Almeria.
In a testimony stated by a witness, Mr. Roy Cabañas, who was also driving a motorcycle, he was tailing the motocycle driven by Estrada when the Toyota Pick Up truck overtook a Sedan type vehicle, which was also traversing towards Naval and encroaching the lane of the motorcycle driven by Estrada. Thus the head-on collision between the Pick Up truck and the motorcycle happened.
Mr. Estrada was pronounced dead on the spot. As of this writing, Mr. Dagalea is still in the custody of the Almeria MPS.
In cases like vehicular accidents, Biliran Island heavily relies on the official statements like Police Reports and Blotters in presenting its news.
