2 teens on motorcycle dead after collision in Southern Leyte

ORMOC CITY—Two teens aboard a motorcycle died after a collision Monday with a passenger bus at the national highway of Sto. Niño 1, Hinunangan town, Southern Leyte.

Francis Dave Calhin Ybanez, 17, and his back rider Mark Jun Mangayon, 17, were rushed to the hospital but did not make it alive, said Lt. Ma. Bella Rentuaya, spokesperson of the Eastern Visayas police.

Initial investigation disclosed that the two fatalities were on board a motorcycle when Ybanez tried to overtake a multi-cab and encroached the opposite lane.

The motorcycle was subsequently hit by the bus driven by Renato Balbido Losuegro.

The drivers of the bus and multi-cab were brought to the Hinunangan Municipal Police Station so they could shed light on the incident.
