Philippine Coast Guard Motorcycle Fire on Roxas Boulevard
A Philippine Coast Guard motorcycle fire occurred on Sunday night, June 1, along the northbound lane of Roxas Boulevard near UN Avenue in Ermita, Manila. The incident involved a collision between a motorcycle and two vehicles, resulting in the motorcycle catching fire and injuring its rider.
The crash happened around 11:45 p.m. in front of the Bay View Park Hotel. The vehicles involved were a motorcycle, a Toyota Innova, and a Mitsubishi Xpander. Authorities from the Manila District Traffic Enforcement Unit (MDTEU) are investigating the incident to clarify the circumstances and liability.
Details of the Collision and Injuries
The motorcycle was driven by 30-year-old Jhon Mark Ordoñes, a Philippine Coast Guard member assigned to the Coast Guard Education, Training and Doctrine Command in Binondo, Manila. Ordoñes was traveling northbound when his motorcycle collided with the left rear side of the Toyota Innova. The motorcycle then struck the rear of the Mitsubishi Xpander, which caused it to catch fire upon impact.
Ordoñes sustained injuries and was immediately taken to Manila Doctors Hospital for medical treatment. Both drivers of the other vehicles, 46-year-old Telly Masilag Lucas of Paco, Manila, who was driving the Toyota Innova, and 47-year-old seafarer Waldemar De Ocampo from Imus, Cavite, behind the wheel of the Mitsubishi Xpander, were unharmed.
Vehicle Damage and Ongoing Investigation
All three vehicles involved suffered damage, though the exact repair costs have yet to be determined. The Manila District Traffic Enforcement Unit continues to gather information to establish the cause of the accident and to assign responsibility fairly.
Authorities urge motorists to exercise caution, especially in busy areas like Roxas Boulevard, to prevent similar accidents from happening. Witnesses and those with additional information are encouraged to cooperate with investigators.
