- By VANNE ELAINE P. TERRAZOLA

The police yesterday recovered the black luxury vehicle involved in the fatal hit-and-run incident in Quezon City last Sunday.

The black Hummer vehicle is now in the custody of the Quezon City Police District's Traffic Enforcemen­t Unit (QCPDDTEU).

The vehicle’s driver, Alvin San Pablo surrendere­d the other day.

The deaths of Lowell Gonzalgo and Felix Bose barely left marks on the vehicle which was brought to the QCPD headquarte­rs in Camp Karingal around 10 p.m. Tuesday.

SPO4 Crisaldo Nemenzo, DTEU investigat­or, said they traced the car in a remote barrio in Sariaya, Quezon.

Nemenzo said San Pablo, after the accident, drove the vehicle straight to Sariaya and entrusted it to a friend.

"After he voluntaril­y appeared yesterday (Tuesday), San Pablo told us the location and our troops went there to retrieve the car," Nemenzo said.

The investigat­or said that San Pablo's friend, whom he did not name, was also a colleague in the networking business.

Police did not find the friend at the time they were recovering the vehicle.

Meanwhile, the police have already filed charges against San Pablo.

Besides a case of reckless imprudence resulting to multiple homicide and damage, the police also found probable cause to sue the suspect for the violation of the Land Transporta­ion Code when he failed to help the Gonzalgo and Bose after the accident, and the violation of the Revised Penal Code Article 247 for abandoning them.
