In a devastating incident on February 20, 2024, at 8:34 PM GMT+08:00, a motorcycle rider lost his life and was decapitated following a collision with an oncoming passenger jeepney in Opol, Misamis Oriental. The victim, identified as Elpidio Magpulong, a 59-year-old resident of Cagayan de Oro, was navigating his motorcycle towards CDO when the accident occurred.
According to the police report shared by Cyril Chaves on GMA Regional TV One Mindanao, Magpulong attempted to overtake another vehicle, inadvertently entering the lane of the jeepney, leading to the fatal crash. Senior Master Sergeant Arniel Villamor, the Traffic Investigator at Opol Municipal Police Station, detailed that the motorcyclist counterflowed into the opposite lane, resulting in a head-on collision that caused the motorcycle to overturn, ejecting the rider.
Further investigations revealed that Magpulong was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident. In the aftermath, discussions have been initiated between the jeepney driver, its operator, and the bereaved family. The police have issued a warning, urging drivers to refrain from operating vehicles while intoxicated to prevent such tragic accidents.
