The Philippine National Railways (PNR) will extend financial assistance to a man who lost his leg after being struck by a train in Barangay 16, Washington Drive, Legazpi City.
The incident reportedly occurred while the victim was under the influence of alcohol, according to initial findings.
PNR General Manager Engineer Deovanni Miranda said in an interview with Bombo Radyo Legazpi that the agency immediately coordinated with its finance department to facilitate aid for the individual.
The assistance includes medical support such as the provision of necessary medications for the victim’s recovery.
Miranda also confirmed that both PNR and the Philippine National Police have completed their investigation into the incident.
He urged the public, especially those staying near railway tracks, to remain vigilant—particularly when hearing train horns, as trains are unable to stop instantly.
Miranda also reminded residents not to tamper with or remove railway crossing signs, which he described as vital to preventing tragedies and saving lives.
