RESCUERS rushed three people to the Northern Mindanao Medical Center after figuring in a vehicular accident involving the motorcycle they were riding and a pick-up truck, Wednesday night.
The accident happened at the crossing diversion road in Igpit, Opol town in Misamis Oriental at about 7 pm.

Acero said Gerald, Luntayao, and Mugot were rushed by Opol rescuers to NMMC because they were fatally injured while Amporegis refused assistance since he suffered only minor wounds.
The traffic investigator added that the four injured were riding a black Baja motorcycle with temporary plate number 1001-385633 from Barangay Bulua in Cagayan de Oro City and were en route to Barangay Bagocboc.
