LUCENA CITY –– A motorcyclist died and two other riders injured in a collision between two motorcycles in Real town in Quezon province on Sunday, Feb. 7.
A Quezon police report said Darrel Castillo, with Mary Joy Rañosa as back-rider, was traversing the Mauban–Real road when they collided with another motorcycle driven by Rogelio Morales, which came from the opposite direction in Barangay Malapad around 1:30 p.m.
