A 52-year-old security guard was killed after he was hit by a speeding SUV in Dasmariñas, Cavite.
In a report by Mark Labaro on GMA Regional TV “Balitang Southern Tagalog,” the victim can be seen in the CCTV camera directing traffic in front of his workplace in Barangay Salawag.
Just a few moments later, the sudden arrival of an SUV can be seen, and it hits the security guard.
With the force of the impact, the victim was thrown a few meters. He was rushed to the hospital but did not survive.
The driver of the SUV is now in police custody, facing a complaint of reckless imprudence resulting in homicide.
According to the report, efforts are still being made to obtain the statement of the driver of the SUV and relatives of the victim.
In June, a security guard who was directing traffic in Mandaluyong City was also hit by an SUV.
The victim was identified as Christian Joseph Floralde. The incident occurred around 4 p.m. this Sunday at the intersection of Julio Vargas Avenue and St. Francis Street in Mandaluyong.
In the dashcam shot, guard Floralde can be seen stopping a white SUV, but instead of stopping, it hit him. Instead of getting off the SUV, the driver ran over the lying victim.
The case became controversial after the SUV’s driver refused to attend preliminary hearings and even had a press conference with the police.
