Two persons died on the spot when the single motorcycle they were riding slammed a trailer truck stuck on an under repair portion of the Maharlika Highway in Barangay Nieves, this town, Saturday night.
Chief Inspector Renato Morales, town police chief, said the fatalities were the motorcycle driver, Reynante Pascual, 39, of Mayapyap Norte, Cabanatuan City, and a still unidentified male companion.
Investigation showed the Isuzu trailer truck (RER-938) driven by Moises Pineda, 32, of Barangay District 2, San Manuel, Isabela, was halted by the ongoing construction when the motorcycle bumped on its rear portion.
The dead were brought to a local funeral parlor for autopsy examination, while Pineda was held at the police station for investigation, Morales said.
The accident happened four days after nine people died on the spot in a smash-up among a passenger bus, a fuel tanker and a motorcycle along the Maharlika Highway last Wednesday in Barangay Bantug, Science City of Muñoz, this province.
