BUTUAN CITY – An exhaustive inquiry is currently in progress regarding the tragic collision that occurred on Christmas Eve at Bangkerohan Public Market in Davao City, involving a military vehicle.
In a statement released on Monday, Lt. Gen. Greg Almerol, the commander of Eastern Mindanao Command (Eastmincom), announced the initiation of an investigation to ascertain potential negligence on the part of Task Force Davao (TF-Davao) personnel assigned to the military vehicle.
Preliminary findings indicate that a KM450 military truck dropped off several TF-Davao personnel at Bangkerohan Market after 5 p.m. on Sunday for a security operation.
Subsequently, the driver of the military truck disembarked for a personal necessity. During this time, while the truck was parked and unattended, an individual later identified as Crenenandy Cadiente occupied the driver's seat and operated the vehicle.
The truck collided with multiple parked vehicles and individuals, resulting in the death of two people and injuring three others.
"The wounded civilians were promptly transported to the Philippine Medical Center for immediate treatment," stated Eastmincom, noting that Cadiente was placed under the custody of responding police officers.
"The results of Mr. Cadiente's mental health evaluation are pending release," added Eastmincom.
Expressing condolences to the affected families, Lt. Gen. Almerol assured the public of a swift investigation to take appropriate action.
"While this incident is an isolated one, it is regrettable that it occurred during our preparations for the festive Christmas celebration. We extend our condolences to the families of the victims. Rest assured that we will not cease our efforts until justice is served for your loved ones," affirmed Almerol. (PNA)
