Baguio City, Philippines – A collision between a motorcycle and a Toyota Innova wagon taxi on the evening of Monday, July 11 at the Romulo Drive, Baguio City resulted to the death of an 18-year-old student.

His remains were already brought home in Itogon, Benguet.

He was said to have died at the scene while his back rider, a 17-year-old, was injured and currently undergoing medication at the Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center.

The motorcycle they were riding came from Pacdal Circle heading to the Bua Itogon Road when they met the tragic accident.
