Three people were killed and two others critically injured after a speeding car driven by a senior citizen crashed into a motorcycle and a sidewalk in Barangay San Isidro, Angono, Rizal, on Sunday, March 15.
According to the Angono Municipal Police Station, the 66-year-old female driver lost control of her vehicle when its brakes failed while descending the sloped exit of her subdivision.

Two motorcycle passengers—a 15-year-old boy and a 26-year-old woman—were declared dead on arrival at the hospital. Two other occupants, a 13-year-old boy and a 23-year-old man identified as the motorcycle’s driver, remain in critical condition.
