‘Road rage’ leaves 2 motorists dead in Quezon

LUCENA CITY — Two motorists were killed by a still unidentified assailant in an incident that authorities have said was due to “road rage” in Candelaria town in Quezon province Saturday night.

Candelaria police reported that two vehicles — a Hyundai EON and a Toyota Fortuner — got involved an accidental side collision along the Candelaria bypass road in Barangay (village) Masin Sur around 6:50 p.m.

While the drivers of both vehicles were trying to settle the matter, the unidentified driver of the Toyota Fortuner got irked and reportedly repeatedly shot Marvin Domenden, 35, the driver of Hyundai EON; and Domingo Dialino, the registered owner of the said vehicle.

The gunman escaped after the shooting.

Domenden died while being taken to Peter Paul Medical Center at the town center, while Dialino passed away while undergoing treatment.
