BACOLOD CITY — Two persons died when a pickup truck slammed into a hauler truck in Hacienda Tibay Lopez, Barangay Efiganio Lizares, Talisay City on Saturday evening.
The police identified the fatalities as Ford Ranger driver Nilo Epanto, 38, who died on Sunday morning, and his passenger Ronjun Caballero who was declared dead on arrival by the attending physician at the hospital.
