CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY — An 18 year old and her 13-year-old niece were crushed to death when they were ran over by a cargo truck after they hit dangling internet wires that caused the motorcycle they were riding to skid in front the truck along the national highway in Barangay Sinait Laguindingan, Misamis Oriental Friday.

Police Staff Sergeant Junrie Caamino, in a report said the victims Jenny, 18 and her niece were riding in tandem and going home after an overnight vigil at Purok 4, when the accident took place.

The report said the victims were just about 100 meters after leaving the wake when they overtook a cargo truck traveling in the same direction towards Cagayan de Oro city.

However, their motorcycle hit dangling internet wires from a toppled post along the highway. The cable wire entangled their motorcycle causing it to skid towards the middle of the road just in front of the approaching cargo truck.

The truck ran over the victims and the front wheels dragged the victims before the truck eventually stopped.

The victims suffered severe head injuries and were killed on the spot.

The driver of the truck surrendered to the police and is now detained at the police lock up cell pending investigation of the case.
