5 dead, 24 injured in two road mishaps in north
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 21 - 02 - 2010

Five were killed and 24 others hurt in separate road accidents in the provinces of Kalinga in the Cordillera Administrative Region and Isabela in the Cagayan Valley Region Friday.
The four fatalities in the Kalinga accident were identified by Kalinga police in an initial report as Eling Fabros, Maria Abenoja, and couple Purita and Guillermo Guzman, all from Burgos town in Isabela province.
On the other hand, Isabela police identified businessman Bill Albert Torio of Alicia town as the lone fatality in a collision on the national highway in Alicia's Padda village early Friday.
Initial report from the Kanlinga police said some 70 passengers on a mid-sized truck left Burgos town Friday morning heading for Calanan village in Tabuk town in Kalinga to seek treatment for various illnesses from a faith healer.
The group was unable to meet with the faith healer because of the huge crowd of people who have been in the place days before, awaiting the healing sessions that take place only on weekends.
A Bombo Radyo report indicated that after failing to see the healer, the group decided to spend the night in the house of one of their companions – retired police officer Col, Domingo Duco.
On their way to Duco's house Friday night, the overloaded truck tilted before over turning while it was negotiating a narrow, winding road in Sitio Bulanao in Tabuk town's Mapayao village.
According to the report, of the 24 injured passengers being treated at the Kalinga Provincial Hospital in Tabuk, one was comatose.
In the Isabela accident, police investigators from the police hearquaters in Alicia town said businessman Torio's north bound Nissan Navarra Pick-up truck collided head-on with passenger bus owned by Lasam Transit.
The report said Torio had just overtaken a tricycle when his car rammed the bus on the opposite lane.
Torio died on the spot after sustaining fatal injuries to his head.
