Dumptruck sideswipes, kills boy
BY GILBERT BAYORAN

The week-long fiesta celebration of Murcia, Negros Occidental, ended Saturday with another vehicular accident, that caused the death of another minor.

Inspector Celjun Nemenio, Murcia police officer-in-charge, however, said yesterday that the celebration of the town fiesta was generally peaceful and that the accident took place outside the poblacion.

The fatality identified as Raymond Medel,9, was sideswiped by a dumptruck, while he was crossing Saturday the highway in Brgy. Blumentritt, Murcia, police investigations showed

Nemenio said Medel, who suffered injuries in the head and legs, died, while being treated at a hospital in Bacolod City.

The dumptruck driver, identified as Benny Sagloria, 46, is now detained at the Murcia Police Station jail, while charges for reckless imprudence resulting to homicide and serious physical injuries are being readied against him.

During the opening ceremony of Murcia town fiesta on Nov. 30, two minors and their mother were also killed in a vehicular accident in the town, police records also show.* GPB
