-

A BUSINESSMA­N died after his motorcycle collided with another motorcycle in Barangay Jomgao in Argao, Cebu late Saturday night.

Fernando Remoroza, 59, of Barangay Panadta- ran, Argao succumbed to severe head injuries.

The victim was on his way to his store in Barangay Poblacion when the accident happened at 9:40 p.m.

Remoroza’s vehicle ac- cidentally sideswiped the motorcycle of Reuel Enbalzado, 34, in a downhill curve. Both vehicles fell on the road.

The victim was rushed to the hospital but didn’t make it alive.

Enbalzado’s back rider, Adriano Amor, 30, also sustained injuries but was declared out of danger.

Enbalzado of Baranga Catang, Argao is detained in the police station while the police are preparing to file a complaint of reckless imprudence resulting to homicide against him.

In another incident, a motorcycle-for-hire driver died after his vehicle crashed when he got distracted by gunfire in Ba- rangay Liburon, Carcar City last Friday night.

Joey Bacatan, 32, suffered severe head injuries, said PO2 Abelardo Biton of Carcar City Police Station.

The accident happened at 6:25 p.m. while the victim was transporti­ng his passenger Mario Lazarte, 42, to Barangay Can-asujan.

A gunshot jolted Bacatan, who tried to scamper away from the area.

However, he lost control of the vehicle, resulting in a crash.

Bacatan was rushed to Carcar Emergency Hospital but was pronounced dead. His passenger, on the other hand, was unscathed.

During a body inspection, Dr. Cheryl Funo, the attending physician, didn’t find any gunshot wound in the driver’s body.

Biton told Sun.Star Cebu that they are still investigat­ing where the gunfire came from and if it was intended for the victim.

“Nag-uwan man gud atong tayma unya ngitngit sad didto (It was raining at the time of the incident. It was also very dark in the area),” he said.
