ORMOC CITY-A man was killed after the truck he was on board tumbled which also resulted in the injury of two persons in Lavezares, Northern Samar on Monday (July 17) at about 4:30 pm.

All three were brought to the Allen District Hospital where Torcido was declared dead on arrival by his attending physician. (ROBERT DEJON)
