00:12For those who are watching, this is the latest accident that was hit by EJ Gomez.
00:20In the CCTV footage in Barangay San Jose, Antipolo City, at 5 am yesterday, the man in a white T-shirt was seen crossing the road.
00:34Just a few moments before he reached the middle of the road, a multi-purpose vehicle or MPV that can run fast hit the man.
00:43He fell on the other lane and was hit by a truck. The victim was dead on the spot.
00:50In an investigation by the Antipolo Police, the victim was crossing the road on the other side of the road to speed up the process of the accident.
00:58According to a witness, he crossed the road on the other side, but there was no one in the vehicle.
01:04He was able to run fast. He was hit and when he was hit, the truck hit him. We just saw that the truck was blown away.
01:14The truck driver, Kusaraw, surrendered to the authorities.
01:18The truck driver admitted that he was hit by a car. So obviously, we detained him.
01:24However, during the course of the investigation, we also showed the family that this is what really happened.
01:29We have CCTV footage that proves that the truck driver had no chance to avoid the accident.
01:38There was no longer a complaint filed against the truck driver that the family of the victim had an arreglo.
01:44The driver of the MPV ran away and was searched by the authorities.
01:49The victim, Renato Lawang, a 35-year-old construction worker, was identified.
01:57Her family members were very upset.
02:00Renato lost her one-year-old daughter and her pregnant wife this March.
02:06I couldn't accept it. It hurts. I'm pregnant. I hope my husband will be blessed.
02:19I hope he will be able to earn money. I need justice for my husband.
02:26My husband's life will not return.
02:30Renato is the fourth of her 12 siblings.
02:34She was the first one to leave us.
02:38She shouldn't have left because she's still young and she has children who are waiting for her.
02:45Last night, she was with us. Now, she's in jail.
02:51The Antipolo Police is continuing the investigation to find the MPV driver.
02:56He will be charged with reckless imprudence resulting in homicide.
