According to initial reports, the father and son were riding a tricycle with no license plate or functional headlights.

The tricycle collided head-on with a gray pickup truck bearing plate number YAB-8164, driven by Neil John Corpuz, a 23-year-old resident of San Diego, Pidigan, Abra.

Corpuz, who holds a valid driver’s license, was uninjured, along with his passengers, Marie Joy Anical, 26, and Marian Pacupac, 24, a nurse. Both passengers sustained minor injuries.

The victims were rushed to Balaoan District Hospital, where they were declared dead on arrival by Dr. Ceasar Ferrer.
