Quezon police director Col.

Arnel was the one driving a passenger van that smashed a tricycle in a head on collision on the morning of Dec. 31 along National Highway, Brgy Sta Rosa in Munalay town.
The van overtook another vehicle but miscalculated and subsequently lost control of the van resulting in the collition with the trike coming from the opposite direction.
On impact, Benny Jay Raymundo who was driving the trike, his wife Cristy, daughter Chris Jane, son Cris Jay and brother Magno all suffered fatal and severe wounds and died while being rushed to the hospital while Arnel escaped for fear of being jailed.
