Lieutenant Colonel Edgar Azotea, Daraga police chief, said the last two accidents occurred in the same barangay in less than a month. “We want to remind the public that when crossing the railway, not only in Daraga, but anywhere, if possible, open your vehicle’s windows so that you can hear the train’s siren and avoid accidents. Those in the residential areas, please help the authorities in ensuring your safety by following the safety signages and policies,” he said.

Sanchez and other residents are concerned about the old railroads, a damaged wooden bridge connecting sections of the tracks, and dangerous train crossing spots they fear could lead to more accidents. He said he paid at least P10,500 in hospital bills, excluding the cost of medications. Unable to work, he said he had to beg for alms from passersby for his medical needs.
