In a tragic incident in Gumaca, Quezon, a 65-year-old man lost his life after being dragged for 30 meters by a Philippine National Railways (PNR) train. Despite several warnings issued by the train, the man reportedly could not hear them. Following the accident, PNR officials have been actively coordinating with the victim’s family to offer assistance. Additionally, PNR has issued a public reminder emphasizing the importance of vigilance to prevent such disasters, with a specific call to look out for relatives who may have disabilities.
I’ve gathered detailed information about the tragic incident in Gumaca, Quezon, where a 65-year-old man was fatally struck by a Philippine National Railways (PNR) train. The man, identified as Danilo Caperiña, was hearing-impaired and didn’t heed the train’s warnings due to his disability. He was dragged for about 30 meters and later declared dead due to the severity of his injuries. The PNR is coordinating with the victim’s family to offer assistance and has issued a public reminder about the importance of vigilance near train tracks, especially for those with disabilities.
However, I encountered some discrepancies in the reports. Another source mentioned a different victim, Edilberto dela Rosa, involved in a similar accident in Sampaloc, Manila. Additionally, a report from Lucena City, Quezon, described an incident involving a victim named Noel Ligaya de Los Santos. This suggests multiple, separate incidents involving PNR trains and senior citizens.
