A member of the Presidential Security Group was killed after he, while onboard a motorcycle, crashed into a mixer truck in Pasig City early Tuesday.
Police investigators said Captain Armin Sara was driving home after his duty hours during President Arroyo's State of the Nation Address at Batasan Pambansa Complex in Quezon City, when he smashed into a mixer truck along C. Raymundo St. in Pasig City.
"His motorcycle was already lurching," said Danilo Lorenzo of Pasig’s Batas Siyudad Enforcement Office.
Sara was found dead on the spot. His head, which was without a helmet, apparently hit the mixer truck's bumper.
Alan Agravante, the truck’s driver, admitted that he already saw Sara's motorcycle. The truck driver said however that he was not able to avoid it because the motorcycle suddenly swerved into his lane.
"I saw him already, so I blew the truck’s horn, but it seemed that he fell asleep. I can’t do anything," said Agravante.
The victim’s companion, Sergeant Ronaldo Cabairo admitted that they had a drink before boarding their motorcycles.
"We were just invited for a drink," he said.
Sara’s family was too distressed to speak on the PSG officer’s sudden death.
