It was found out later that the motorcycle rider involved in the incident is affiliated with a ride-hailing app.
Meanwhile, responders said the motorcycle rider was shocked to see what happened to his female passenger.
Both the motorcycle rider and truck driver were brought to the Manila Traffic Sector. They declined to give a statement.
The victim was identified as Erika Roa Imago.
The Manila Police District spokesperson Major Philip Ines said that both drivers could be charged for reckless imprudence resulting in homicide, physical injury, and damage to property.
Officials of Barangay 39 are aware that road accidents are common along Mel Lopez Boulevard as the wide lanes allow vehicles to speed up.
- “Whenever we use the road along with big trucks, be careful of your blind spots when driving,” said Ines in Filipino. — Vince Angelo Ferreras/BAP, GMA Integrated News
