The highway was pitched dark and under road construction when Manlongat, who was driving a Starex Van, was surprised when the motorcycle rider on the other lane, shifted to their lane to avoid the newly cemented road with rocks all over it.

 Incident was already investigated by PNP Paniqui.

Congressman Bataoil and his driver immediately brought the motorcycle rider to Teodoro Memorial Hospital and later transferred him to Sto. Nino Hospital in Camiling for Computed tomography (CT) scan.

Meanwhile, Manlongat experinced chest pain while the solon suffered a neck pain caused by jarring inside the vehicle. Bataoil assures everyone that they are safe and nothing no worry about.
