A POPULAR fast-food restaurant in Moalboal town, southern Cebu has sustained damage after a mini-SUV rammed its glass wall panel around 9 a.m. on Thursday, April 11, 2024.
Police identified the driver of the Suzuki Jimny automatic as Anatalio Cardente Jr., 64, from San Roque Village, Barangay Calamba, Cebu City.
Moalboal Police Station chief captain Claudio Gako said Cardente was preparing to park in the area when he struck the tail portion of a Metro Link bus driven by Alegria town resident Archie Rodriguez, who was discharging a passenger.
As a result, Cardente lost control of the car and drove straight to a Jollibee outlet, smashing its glass wall panel, the seats and the tables inside.
A 33-year-old customer Niño Besa, a local, was injured in
the accident. The Moalboal rescue team hurried Besa to the Badian District Hospital for treatment.
Cardente, on the other hand, was brought to the Moalboal Police Station for questioning.
Should an amicable settlement not be achieved, Cardente will be charged with reckless imprudence resulting to physical injury and damage to property. / DVG, TPT
