ORMOC CITY— A motorcycle rider was injured early Thursday morning, February 19, after his vehicle was bumped from behind by another motorcycle along the National Highway in Sitio Naghalin, Barangay Naghalin, Kananga, Leyte.
Police identified the injured driver as alias “Sonnie,” 27, a construction worker from Purok 2, Brgy. San Pablo, Ormoc City, who was riding a gray-and-black Suzuki Raider 150 without presenting a valid driver’s license. The other motorcycle involved was a black Honda Click driven by alias “Vin,” 23, a resident of Sitio Laray, Brgy. Naghalin.
Initial investigation revealed that both motorcycles were traveling toward Kananga town proper when the Suzuki Raider 150 accidentally struck the rear of the Honda Click. The impact caused Sonnie to fall onto the concrete road, sustaining injuries, while the Honda Click rider maintained control of his vehicle.
Emergency responders immediately transported the injured rider to Ormoc District Hospital for treatment. Both motorcycles and the Honda Click driver were brought to Kananga Municipal Police Station for documentation and proper disposition.
