Sagay City, Negros Occidental, Philippines — Adding to the increasing number of vehicular accident in Hda. Salvacion 2, Brgy. Lopez Jaena, Sagay City, a ten-wheeler truck rummage through the Health Center's gate and completely knocked-off a waiting shed beside it on Tuesday, October 27, 2020.
The highway passing through the Hacienda is one of Sagay's deathly curve or accident prone area.
According to the BHW present, Gina Andrin, she was waiting for her co-worker in the waiting shed with Jessie Rama and her 5 months old child when she heard noises and shouting. The shouting came from the residents nearby telling them to run. Andrin was able to run from the scene but she described it as "daw ginalagas ko sang mga kahoy nga nagkalatumba kag sang truck" but Jessie and her child were trapped inside the shed when it fell down. Jessie protected her child by hugging him to block any debris from hitting him; fortunately they were not seriously injured except from a few bruises.
The driver of the truck claimed he lost control of the break but despite of the impact he was not severely wounded, still he was sent to the hospital to be treated.
