CEBU CITY—A fish dealer was killed after the motorcycle he drove crashed into a sports car driven by the younger brother of Cebu businessman Peter Lim around 3 a.m. on Saturday.
Philip Pogoy, 26, and a resident of Mandaue City, was rushed to the Cebu City Medical Center along Natalio Bacalso Avenue here but did not make it.
Police investigation showed that Pogoy was traversing on the Banilad-Talamban flyover when he was hit by the Nissan sports car driven by David Go Lim Sr. who was on the separate lane.
David, a sport car racer, is the youngest of four siblings. The eldest is Peter who has been thrust into the limelight after President Rodrigo Duterte named one Peter Lim as one of the biggest drug lords in the country. He has denied that he was the Peter Lim referred to by the President.
Lawyer Pedro Leslie Salva, counsel of the Lim family, said they would shoulder the expenses for the family of the victim.
“It was an accident. Of course, we were shocked with what happened,” he said.
David, he said, was still recuperating from injuries he sustained due to the collision. He refused to mention the place where David was staying for security reasons.
