LUCENA CITY — A British national was arrested on Tuesday, Sept. 27, for hitting a tricycle and driving away after the incident in General Mariano Alvarez town in Cavite province.

The Region 4A police, in a report, said John Anthony Cole was traveling around 5:45 p.m. aboard a Ford Everest when he hit a tricycle driven by Ernani Dapuran inside a subdivision in Barangay Gregoria De Jesus.

Instead of stopping, Cole sped off and left the scene.

Dapuran gave chase and managed to block the suspect’s vehicle along Congressional Road.

But Cole hit Dapuran’s vehicle again. The wayward tricycle consequently hit two vehicles.

Police who responded to the incident arrested Cole and put him under detention. He is facing appropriate criminal charges.
