Two soldiers were killed and eight were wounded in a vehicular accident in Cotabato City on Monday morning, the military said.
A KM450 truck was traversing Antipas-Arakan Road when it fell off a cliff past 9 a.m. at Crossing Bulwang Spring, Sitio Lukeke in Barangay Malatab, said Lt. Silver Belvis, civil military operations officer of the Army’s 39th Infantry Battalion.
The driver lost control of the vehicle in a bid to save a child who suddenly crossed the road.
“The vehicle overturned and fell 10 feet at the left side of the road,” Belvis said.
The names of the casualties were withheld pending the notification of their families.
