If the Cancer Doesn't Kill You, The Ambulance Will

At least he didn't die alone.

MANILA, Philippines - A cancer patient and his wife were killed early morning yesterday after the ambulance they were riding crashed into a toll plaza booth of the Skyway portion in Taguig City.

Felix and Rosal Soler together with ambulance crew Rio Panganiban were declared dead at the Makati Medical Center.

[...]

Edwin Dalangin, distant relative of Rosal, told The STAR that the victims were supposed to rush Felix to the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) in Manila from their house in San Carlos, Rosario, Batangas.

[...]

Sketchy investigation report showed that the ambulance, instead of passing through the tollgate designated for ambulance and fire truck, passed and rammed into the Tollgate 6 of Skyway’s northbound portion about 6:10 a.m.

The toll booth teller Marlyn Buta who sustained bruises was rush to ParaƱaque Doctors Hospital and was released hours later.
