Security guard dies in mishap
By Ritzy Robles Malo-oy
A SECURITY guard detailed at Sincere Drug Store died Sunday when he was allegedly sideswiped by a private vehicle at corner 6th and 7th Lacson St., Bacolod City.
Rodolfo dela Cruz, 49, of Barangay 1, Bacolod City sustained injuries at the back of his head and left knee when a Toyota Tamaraw FX, color green, bearing plate number 884 allegedly sideswiped him, according to witnesses.
The witnesses, however, failed note the complete number of the vehicle's plate.
Dela Cruz was brought to Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital but later expired.
Wilfredo dela Cruz, the victim's older brother, said his brother left their home at 3 Sunday to pick-up plastic bottles to be sold at the junkshops.
He said, they started looking for his brother when he failed to return home hours after. The family then coordinated with Police Precinct 2 who informed them of the incident.
The older dela Cruz then proceeded to CLMMRH to identify his brother.
The victim was a security guard of Nikka Security Agency and detailed at Sincere Drug Store. He applied for leave because of health problems.
He was survived by his wife, Patricia and four children.
The older dela Cruz is hoping that the one responsible for the death of his brother will surrender soon.
Sideswiped, too
Meanwhile, two sexagenarians were brought to CLMMRH after sustaining injuries in the different parts of their body when they were accidentally sideswiped by a passenger jeepney Saturday evening at Kametal, Barangay Mandalagan.
The victims were identified as Marina Perez, 64, and Mercedita Garneca, 68, of Purok Sunriser, Kametal, Barangay Mandalagan.
Hospital record stated, Perez and Garneca were walking at the sidewalk of Kametal when a PUJ bearing plate FWC-277 plying the route of Bata-Libertad sideswiped them.
In another report, a four-year-old boy, of Purok Sigay, Barangay Magsungay sustained injury at the left side of his face when a Mazda Pick-up with plate number WAR-112 allegedly bumped on him Saturday evening at Purok Kapawa, Barangay Tangub.
