A MOTORCYCLE rider and his woman backride were injured when they figured in a sideswiping incident with an ambulance in Ermita, Manila early Monday morning.
While the Manila District Traffic Enforcement Unit (MDTEU) is establishing who was at fault, initial investigation showed that the motorcycle was cruising along San Marcelino Street in Ermita, Manila at around 5 a.m. when the incident happened.
Upon reaching the eastbound lane at the corner of United Nations Avenue, the motorcycle was allegedly sideswiped on the left side by a Toyota Hi-Ace with plate number SND 7450, an ambulance which was then being driven by a resident from Mamatid Cabuyao, Laguna and whose name is being withheld pending investigation.
The motorcycle, a Honda Click 125 with plate number 685 TQN, fell to the ground on impact so that its two occupants, identified only as ‘JF’ and Charlotte, were injured and rushed to the Ospital ng Maynila where they were treated for their injuries.
The motorycle and ambulance both sustained damages.
