A truck boarding members of a religious sect who were on their way to Cotabato City allegedly to revitalize the strength of their amulets crashed alongside the road in Bukidnon on Tuesday, killing two septuagenarians and inflicting injuries to 33 others.
Col. Roel Lami-ing, provincial director of Bukidnon, said the two fatalities died in the hospital while most of the injured were already discharged from the hospital.
Lami-ing said some of the victims are minors, the youngest is four, and were among those thrown away from the vehicle when it crashed along the road in Barangay Tikalaan at around 9 a.m. The truck then crashed against trees and houses, and the impact caused most of the passengers to be thrown away. “We were told that they were supposed to attend a fellowship that would revitalize the strength of their amulets,” said Orate.
