What happened in Quezon City is truly concerning, especially since it involved the loss of one life and multiple injuries. The driver, Ruel Dela Cerna, acted irresponsibly, and the LTO investigation is crucial to clarifying exactly what happened and determining whether there was negligence or some other cause. It is important that the authorities act decisively, not only to bring justice to the victim but also to prevent similar incidents from happening again in the future. The presence of alcohol or drugs in these cases always exacerbates the situation and puts innocent lives at risk. This type of accident reminds us of the importance of respecting traffic laws and driving responsibly. Hopefully, the investigation will shed light on the matter and serve to strengthen road safety campaigns in the city.
