Raul Macalino, 50, and his staff Alberto Parungao, were hurt following the accident on Mindanao Avenue in Barangay (village) Bahay Toro.
Traffic investigator Police Officer 1 Oscar Sese said Macalino is a candidate for vice mayor in Lubao, Pampanga. He is currently a board member of the province’s third district.
The two men were onboard a dark blue Mitsubishi Montero (license plate NMQ-708) with Macalino behind the wheel.
The SUV was cruising on the southbound lane when it swerved left and smashed into a concrete barrier.
Sese said the sports utility vehicle then careened into opposite lane and slammed into the water meters of a house on Mindanao Avenue near Pluto Street. Police learned that Macalino had reached a settlement with the homeowner regarding the damages.
