"It happened sometime around 7:40 on yesterday's date when police responded to an apparent fatal traffic accident scene. I have to say fatal because when they arrived there they saw the motionless body of Dean Emmanuel Ozaeta. Ozaeta was driving his motorbike and travelling in the opposite direction was a Mr Shawn Jones driving a GMC pickup. They are saying that upon reaching the first curb at the old northern road apparently Mr Ozaeta got in the lane in front and of course, Mr Jones tried his best to swerve but they still hit him with the side of the truck. Mr Jones was escorted to the Ladyville police station where he voluntarily gave a urine sample and he was served with an N.I.P. and Mr Dean Ozaeta was transported to the KHMH where he dead by a medical officer."
