A FIREMAN WAS SHOCKED WHEN HE KNEW THAT THE ONE HE WAS RESCUED IN THE ACCIDENT IS HER DAUGHTER

Senior Fire Officer 1 John Darrel Velitario can hardly believe the news he heard that his own daughter had died.

The tragic road mishap that cost his daughter her life happened in Nabua, Camarines Sur.

The accident happened when Nikki was just a passenger on a motorcycle and when suddenly it smashed at the back of a slow-moving tricycle at the Provincial road of Barangay Santiago, Nabua, Camarines Sur.

John shares, “Nung nasa station na kami, parang katawan ng anak ko, kaya tinawagan ko ‘yung anak ko saka asawa ko na kontakin si Nikki kung nasaan. Malaman ko lang kung nasaan siya basta malaman ko na okay siya.”

He and his wife’s fears were confirmed when they received a call that said their daughter was involved in the accident.

“Tumawag ‘yung nanay nung boyfriend niya. Naaksidente daw si Nikki,” he said.

“Ang hirap po sa trabaho namin, may naiinggit na wala daw kaming ginagawa. Pero dapat magpasalamat sila na wala kaming ginagawa.

Kasi sa tuwing lalabas ang ambulance, siguradong may taong nasa bingit ng kamatayan. Akala nila ganoon lang kadali trabaho namin,” he added.

The driver of the motorcycle was injured, while the passenger of the tricycle is also injured. According to the report, the motorcycle hit the back of the tricycle.
