Guingona son hurt

A SON of Sen. Teofisto “TG” Guingona III was seriously injured after he rammed his sports utility vehicle into a lamppost along the Katipunan flyover in Quezon City before dawn Friday. Pieyter Norman Guingona, 18, was pinned behind the steering wheel and had to be rescued by a team from the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority.

Traffic investigator PO3 Renato Sunga said the young Guingona was driving a gray Isuzu Alterra on his way home to Don Enrique Heights in Quezon City when the accident happened. For still unknown reasons, Guingona’s SUV crashed into a lamppost located along the center island.

The traffic investigator said he has yet to speak with the victim  to find out what really happened.  Guingona  was rushed to the Quirino Memorial Medical Center but has been transferred to St. Luke’s Medical Center in Quezon City. Julie M. Aurelio
